"Jim Thome is an even better person than he is a player"
How is this even possible?
The guy hit 600 home runs and sits number 8 on the all time home run list (as a player)!
Is he one of the top 20 people of all time?
Up there with Mother Theresa?
Sorry, calling b.s. on this.*
*I will say though that when I hear Jim Thome's name, I get a strong craving for meat and potatoes for some reason. White milk too.

Oh, come on! You want to join the mainstream media's fixation on only 3 or 4 simple stats, like HRs? The quote is "player" not "HR hitter". Jim is a below average fielder, for example, so we're talking more like the top 2,000 or so people of all time, which is plausible.
If you go "2500", I think I am with ya!
