Jim Thome hit his 600th home run last night. The lefty slugger, who has played in the major leagues for 21 years, has never been associated with steroids. Obviously, it’s not a reflection of the guy himself, but the times, to ask do you think Jim Thome did steroids?

To say, “No, I dont think Thome did steroids” almost seems foolish. It’s hard to think that anyone with success in this era did not do steroids. There probably isn’t a better guy in Major League Baseball than Jim Thome. The guy has been amazingly consistent for so many years. Maybe just maybe, we can truly believe Jim Thome did this without any help.

In a complete contradiction, I really don’t believe Jim Thome did steroids. I believe he will enter the Hall of Fame without an issue. I know fool me once, fool me a million times, I’m a fool, but I just have a hard time believing that Jim Thome did steroids. I’ll stand by that, and expect him to be a first ballot Hall of Famer when the time comes.
