I just  realized I did not see Jim Thome anywhere on the World Series coverage...any one know why not? Or did I miss him?

He still looks the same from his time here in Minnesota. Thanks for sharing! 

He now works for the White Sox.

Which makes it hard to say, but they were pretty classy letting Thome throw on a rival AL Central team's jersey on national TV.

I believe they had a shot of him sitting with Mike Hargrove as well.  I don't recall which game though.

Thanks, I feel better now!!!!

I don't think it was that big of a deal. It's not like Thome is the face of the White Sox or in a very public role there. Plus, he's in Cleveland's HoF. Also, Thome's from here. I'm sure the Sox offering him a position when he retired was in part knowing that his home is here.

Not entirely pertinent to the topic but here's Jim Thome's first and last home runs.

That first one was all legs. The last one was more about the arms.
