CHICAGO -- With 507 career home runs, 1,398 RBIs, 1,459 walks, a .409 on-base percentage and a .281 batting average, not to mention 17 postseason long balls, Jim Thome already possesses an extremely strong resume to present for induction into Baseball's Hall of Fame five years after he retires.

But thanks to the generosity of his current boss, Thome and his father, Chuck, will get to make a special trip to Cooperstown prior to the start of this year's Spring Training.

I am glad about this. Thome rocks!

I am sadded by the delay because Thome deserves this, but at least it will happen eventually.
