The Cleveland Indians decided to make everyone emotional by retiring Jim Thome‘s number this afternoon before the game against the Baltimore Orioles.
Thome has a statue at Progressive Field and now that he is officially in the Hall of Fame, it was only a matter of time before his number was retired. No one could ever wear the No. 25 as well as he did anyway.
And just when I thought it couldn’t get any better, they had Thome put a jersey on and round the bases with his son. I’m not crying, you are!
