Playing in that little league park should help his HR total. :)

Disappointed. Wanted him to finish in Cleveland like Griffey finished in Seattle.

Frik -

I agree I would have liked to have seen him in Cleveland as well - then I could get an auto at Spring Training!!!

I just hope when the Phils come to Denver that Thome is still as down to earth as he has always been and doesn't turn into a fan hater ala Howard, Victorino, et al...

Maybe it's just Denver, but the Phillies are by the far the worst signing team in Denver over the past 4 or 5 years - Howard, Victorino, Utley, Rollins all just blow off the fans here...

I second that...and that will mean only 2-4 games in Wrigley Field to play him on Sheffield Avenue.
