Jim thomes 500th career homerun

[SFGAM76]

whats the name of the song there playing for thome when he got into the batters box

[chiero57]

Assuming Griffey never used PEDs, then only 5 players have ever hit more home runs than Jim Thome without cheating.

[Toastabl3]

Great guy. When he hit a Homer for the twins, and made the Phillies 5 run Lead go to 3 I think, We applauded him, and Cheered. Btw We lost that game. I have a special 1 in 1000 bat that is his 400th Career Homer special. Great guy. Even though if we kept you We would have never had Howard, we still miss you!

[irvin564]

00:43 ... Holy SHIT!

[thefatman18]

wait wait wait.... this guy proved you DON'T need steroids to hit home runs. wow, this is such a new concept. no steroids suckas! go chicago baseball woot!

[RyanFromBako]

OMG! You think Thome didn't do steroids? He's freaking unnaturally HUGE. I will bet everything I own he's on the list of 106.

[Dudemon3]

hope he gets 600 in 3 years.

[notaneub]

i was there 4 his 2000th hit

[joezak5]

It could not have happened to a classier guy... we miss you in Philly!

[fftom94]

same here. i remember watchin his 400th on tv. literally the pitch right after showing that he had 399.

[UltraXryder]

Bravo joezak5 even tho he does not play in Philly anymore you still like him....Unlike the stupid Cleveland fans that boo him all the time...really how could anyone boo a guy like Jim Thome !?

[ozunasox]

best part it was a walkoff! type in "luis juking" for a hilarious video of a dancing fat guy who was so happy the sox won it all

[chitownsoxfan24]

I was there, and he went 0 for 4, looked like hell, then he comes up and drills the ball. It was also his bobblehead day, and the interview afterwards was pretty touching. That was a helluva game.

[oberc]

What drama, a game winner!  Hey, look ma, no steroids!!

Read Game of Shadows and you will get the truth on Bonds.

[abbyse]

Fred, great job! I know you really like the Sox!

Uncle Doo

[soxpeg]

i was in right field too. As a lifelong sox fan i never had access to any playoff or world series tickets so this was extra special for me. Go go white sox. sox pride is forever

[guitarplayr318]

what i dont understand is that during the playofs the place is filled, but during th regular season, the place is empty

i hate the fairweather fans

[tropez31]

Just because fans don't go to the games doesn't make them fairweather fans. The reason I didn't go to this game is because the Bears played that afternoon and staying at home I could watch both games on tv. The night before this game, more than 36K showed up to watch a last place team. Last year the Sox averaged over 36K (90% capacity) during the regular season, which was among the top in MLB. Think about it, would you rather pay for playoff tix or a regular season game that means nothing.

[Trallo4]

what are you talking about, people were there to see jims 500th home run. I am a season ticket holder, and of the 15 games i went to last season, about 10 of them were right before thomes homerun or the day off. This run was the only thing worth cheering about last season. and besides that, sox always have a lot of people there. the least i ever saw was the last day of the 2001 regular season, there was like 20000 people.

[afagaga]

Bam Go Thome...Sox Pride Cubs suck....Go White Sox

[chanman712]

Man I was there until the very last pitch! Looks like you got a great view of it! I sat at right field near the 3 sections back from the foul post. It was a great game either way and nice weather. Great vid thanks!

[Grammadavis]

Totally cool, guitar player!!

[thomesocksup]

I can watch these videos all day. He is awesome and I wish he were still an indian. But I am so happy for him I could just cry. Great job and happy 500!

[guitarplayr318]

it was also jim thome bobble head day!

[thomesocksup]

OMG! That's funny and so appropriate!
