hof jim thome?

Question

what are the chances that thome would go into the HOF as a white sox? he played for the indians for 12 years. but no world series. how many years would he need as a WS to go in as one? would 2 WS lock it? in like 3 years?

would 2 WS lock it? = would 2 World Series lock it?

Answer 1

The Hall tends to lean toward the team that the player played the longest with, so chances are he's going in as a Cleveland Indian. Although if he can get to 500 homers as a White Sox, they may let him go in as a White Sox if he wants to. Tough to say right now.

I don't think championships will factor into the equation much - we'll see when Roger Clemens goes in. (I think he will go in as a Red Sox)

Answer 2

He's an obvious user of performance enhancers, as they call them, so that may taint his chances of even going into the Hall of Fame at all. I think he will have to hit over 600 home runs to do that, but I don't know if he has enough years left to do that. If he goes in, he will be an Indian unless the Sox go to the Series like 3-5 times and he will have to play like six years there. Otherwise, even with a WS or two, he won't go in wearing a White Sox cap.

Answer 3

There's a good chance the he will make it to the Hall of Fame but I'm not sure what team he would represent because he did put ip a lot of big numbers in Cleveland so I guess he would have to play quite a few more with the W Sox

Answer 4

i think it is gonna b a stretch for him to even get into the hof but if he does he will most likely go in as a white sox player as long as he plays for them for at least 3 more years b/c he already did more for them than he ever did for the indians.

Answer 5

yeah he'll be a hofer... WS will just add to his ballot support... he'll be in even without one...
look at his numbers!

Answer 6

No way.
