- Jim Thome, first ballot Hall of Famer. Has a nice ring to it.
- This is part of a 130 card set, which also features 2 of the other 3 HOFers from this year's class. Trevor Hoffman is the only one who doesn't have a card in this set.
- Career homer #273 was the 40th of the 2001 season for Jim. Joe Mays of the Twins was the victim of a 2 run shot that put the Tribe ahead 5-0. Cleveland would end up winning 8-2, making a winner of Chuck Finley.
