    i had no idea until i turned to the game and saw him stand in the batters box that he already had one, awesome channel change as i saw the home run live.

    Should be a first ballot hall of famer but may get punished for playing during the steroid era.

    Congrats to one of the nicest guys in baseball. After the first one it seemed inevitable that he would hit the second.

    Is there a more underappreciated hitter than Thome? I mean 8 guys have hit 600 home runs. Jeter gets 3,000 hits and wars across the globe simultaneously stop. Good for him, very glad he did it in a Twins uniform.

    Does it bother you that ARod's 600th HR got way less attention than Jeter's 3000th hit as well?

    Aloamr was snubbed on first ballot because of the spitting incident. No character issues will stop Thome from being a fist ballot HOFer.

    Assuming a DH is a no doubter is risky, especially after looking after Thome's rookie card.

    I agree.

    Everyone you hear from who ever met Thome all say he is a great guy - don't hear that too often about anyone. I'd vote him first ballot if I had a vote.

    The Marlins should never own a title, it hurts.

    the Marlins deserved it when they beat the Yankees but not in 1997.

    It doesn't bother me, because I understand why it happened, but I think its stupid.

    Grats to Thome. Hes one of the best guys in baseball. Have met him more than once and he always took time out for the fans even it was on his time. Hes the type of guy you could approach even if he had a piece of steak on his fork and I know this because ive seen it happen to him.

    Beast. Seriously, has always been way under-appreciated as a hitter but a very classy guy on & off the field...
