- This is part of a 70 card insert set featuring memorable home runs from the '98 season. Jim's is the opening day three run shot to walk off the Angels 8-5
- As you may well imagine the set is dominated by McGwire and Sosa highlights, since '98 was the season of the race between the two sluggers.
- Doesn't appear that I'll hit the 500 post mark this month as I had originally planned a few weeks back. This is post #471, so hitting 500 in April will happen for sure, unless I fall off a cliff.

- Great looking photo on the front, Jim's name and other writing doesn't distract from the photo one bit.
- Had a real hard time finding the card # on the back. It is written in black lettering in the upper left corner of the photo on the reverse. VERY VERY hard to see...
- Bio on the back: "on 6/25/98, Thome led the Indians to an 8-2 interleague victory over the Cardinals with two homers and 3 RBI. It was the second multi-homer game within a week for the first baseman." The other two HR game was 6 days earlier against the Yankees (yay!) and helped the Indians win that day as well, 7-4.
