Despite his amazing number of strikeouts, Jim Thome becoming a member of the Phillies in 2003 helped fuel my revived love of baseball in this city. I was sad to see him move on from the Phillies but knew it was a necessary move to allow a young Ryan Howard to transform into The Big Piece.
I will now go to sleep and have nightmares about Thome pulling a reverse-Stairs in the 2009 NLCS.
