From the June 5th Chicago Tribune.
Another great, non-steroid, player is closing in on a milestone like Jeter. Jim Thome is within seven home runs of attaining that 600-level, which has only seven members, of whom two are steroid-users.
But, he did it the old-fashioned way. No drugs.
Thome began his career in 1991 and is in his 21st season. He played with five teams: Indians, Phillies, White Sox!!, Dodgers and Twins. I'll have to forgive him for playing with the Twins, but the Sox could have had him again after the Dodgers. Instead, we got nut case Manny.
The 600 HOME RUN CLUB
1. Barry Bonds 762
2. Hank Aaron 755
3. Babe Ruth 714
4. Willie Mays 660
5. Alex Rodriguez 623
7. Sammy Sosa 609 (And he was with the Sox during his pre-steroid, skinny arm days.)
Jim Thome 593
