Jim Thome card #285 1997 Donruss Signature #52

• I'm assuming that's a practice swing, because if it isn't, then Jim just hit a foul ball into the first base seats.
• This is the 5th different set from 1997 Donruss that I've featured on the blog.  Those were the days.
• Another 18 cent PC add.   Gotta love it.  I need to try and find more of these...
• Career home run #285 was hit 4/12/02, the 3rd consecutive day he went yard.  This time he hit it off of KC's Jeff Suppan, a 2 run shot in the 4th to put the Indians ahead 2-1.  That would be all the Indians needed as they went on to win 3-1, to go 10 and 1 start the season.  CC Sabathia would strike out 9 over 6 innings for his 2nd win of the season.
