On the day Jim Thome is inducted into the Hall of Fame, we play the best parts of his speech. Chuck Garfien interviews Paul Konerko who talks about what it was like to be Thome's teammate, why he traveled to Cooperstown to be at Thome's induction and more. Chuck speaks with Jim's dad who explains how his son used to hit rocks in the driveway when he was a kid, frequently breaking windows across the street. Chuck also tells a funny story about famous documentarian Ken Burns.
