Hall-of-Famer Jim Thome’s homecoming hits a grand slam of emotions

Melissa Sage-Bollenbach is a die-hard White Sox fan and Mom of two incredible kids! She also has a Cubby hubby, but it’s OK because he likes the Sox. She went to the first Field of Dreams game, and it was the best baseball experience she's ever had!

Jim Thome, Major League Baseball legend, Hall-of-Famer, and former White Sox great, returned to his roots in Bartonville, Ill., last week as the hitting coach for his son Landon’s high school team, Nazareth Academy (7-0). The Roadrunners faced off in a doubleheader against Thome’s alma mater, the Limestone High School Rockets (4-3).
