Jim Thome card #291 2000 Pacific Crown Collection #83

  • I like this picture.  Jim preparing for an underhand toss to the pitcher.  It also looks as if he's floating off the ground because of the design.
  • Bio on the back:  "El 1999 marca la cuarta temporada consecutiva en qu Jim conecto al menos 30 cuadrangulares."  My Spanish is improving somewhat down here in the deep south, as I didn't need a translator to figure out that this said that 1999 was Jim's 4th straight 30 plus HR season.
  • One copy of this card currently on COMC.  $2.75.  Similar to this morning's post, this card will also sit for a very long time on the site.
  • Career home run #291 was hit 5/8/2002 off of Baltimore's Scott Erickson.  It was another 3 run bomb (both of his 3 run HRs scored the same 2 players), and pushed the Indians to a 5-0 lead.  The Indians would go on to win 6-2, once again evening their record at 17-17.
