One of the Indians that graced Cleveland fans’ screens in the nineties is heading to baseball lore.
Former Cleveland Indian Jim Thome has been elected to the Baseball Hall Of Fame and will be inducted into the hall with the 2018 class. Thome played thirteen seasons with the Tribe throughout different parts of his career, originally from 1991-2002 and then a brief return in 2011 after being acquired by Cleveland at the MLB Trade Deadline from Minnesota.
Thome was a fan-favorite for many years and had his fill of accomplishments and moments. Thome bashed 612 home runs and piled in 1,699 runs batted in throughout his 22-year career.
