Jim Thome hits MONSTER home run

[UncleMikeNJ]

Too bad he didn't punch a hole in the roof, forcing the Rays to get a real ballpark.

[cgo2551]

Never a word about foods...a true hall of famer

[TheStevekid]

Jim Thome's homers are always a joy to watch. future hall of famer, but even more he's a hall of fame person

[wingo0pandas]

@TheStevekid actually he was voted "nicest player in baseball" by ESPN magazine

[BigTimeBluesFan989]

wow! to bad no one was there to see it. that place was empty. lol

[twinsfan0808]

wow, never knew thome could get around the bases that fast, now it takes one of those hits to score him from 3rd

[samurai5625]

I remember that a day or two before, Paulie hit a monster home run that also hit one of the catwalks, too bad I can't find a video of it though.

[trickers13]

TITANIC

[MiddyChannel]

Wowsers. What a shot. 

[theanimal160]

Jesus he can crush the snot out of the ball.

[CaliJCalvillo]

Jim Thome HALL OF FAME

[pkappel006]

@CaliJCalvillo 10/4 on that one partner

[TheRuthlessj420]

damn

[TheSeventhStooge]

Man, that shot reminds me of some of the monster HR that were hit by guys like Luzinski and Kittle, back in the day (I go back a bit...). Ouch.

[ChristopherSaindon]

It's cool when fans at opposing parks respect things like this (I'm a Sox fan). Sometimes you just have to back-up and say "that was GREAT baseball." Tip my hat to you TB fans :-)

[tristen539]

@ChristopherSaindon those were white sox fans cheering not rays fans

[morrieswigs]

@ChristopherSaindon The rays have no fans

[vaibanez17]

It went off the catwalk, and only a few guys ever have done that

[whitesox1456]

i remember that game is was like thats who i said i wanted to be except im a little faster than him

[triphoto]

I think the final score was White Sox 9, Rays 2.

[Meckrocz3451]

u were in tampa bay?

[musicmovies913]

i mighta been at this game, did the rays lose?

[samurai5625]

so thats why theres a hole in that dome :)

[BarnStar101]

actually the attendance was 12,379. but thats still pretty sad.

[WADEB24]

dude would u go to a game wen they never made the playoffs

[TampaBayRays9]

If i lived close enough i would be there every game. GO RAYS!

[chrisz71]

me too- too bad I'm over 1000 miles away from the Trop.

[Dethklok112]

Thats called not being a bandwagoner. A bandwagoner is someone who follows a particular team only when they're succesful, incase your wondering

[baseballiLiveforthis]

April- plenty of seart left. October- sold out Rays are BANDWAGON fans.

[jeremyG32]

What's with the short choppy steps when he approaches home plate.

[timmatimma123]

Go big Jimmy, and go Sox!

[lbphitting]

What a blast! It's funny that you call it gone, right off his bat.

[davidm8985]

That's quite a shot. Nice video.

[all66books]

I hope Jim can stay healthy for at least 2, maybe 3 years. If he does, he'll definitely get to 600 HRs.

[PrepRanger1]

5,012 you can forget those extra 12 fans man haha

[YouNoOb193]

a sellout at the trop

[bullsguy]

o yeah, there was a good 5,000 fans. haha

[damanonthegrind]

MMEERRCCYYY!!!!!!

[Triumphit1]

how far was it projected? 10,000 feet?

[Dudemon3]

yeah the infamous catwalks at the trop.

[0bbyTankPl0x]

the one he hit a few days ago at the cell was also a fucking monster

[thepostfk]

Its still floating around outer space with Albert Puljos's HR he hit off Lidge

[OMR2006]

DANG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

[bobbrode314]

I got over 100 of his cards. I got some rare ones they handed out at a Canton Akron Indians game in 1989.

[Crimmyboy]

Yeah he raped that ball.

[smuvkat25]

What a fuckin' animal.

[iWolverine]

What a freaking shot he has so much power.
