MINNEAPOLIS -- The Twins honored newly inducted Hall of Famer Jim Thome with a pregame ceremony prior to Saturday's game against the A's at Target Field, celebrating Thome's time in Minnesota from 2010-11.
Thome, who hit career homer No. 600 with the Twins on Aug. 15, 2011, was joined by his family and former teammates Jason Kubel and Michael Cuddyer, while others such as Joe Mauer, Justin Morneau and Ron Gardenhire paid tribute on the videoboard. Thome has already been honored by the Phillies, White Sox and Indians this season, and said he looks fondly upon his time with the Twins, especially in 2010, when they won the American League Central.
