For Jim Thome fans,
Ryan Howard's ankle injury and infection have given us a chance to
see Thome play first base and start fairly regularly. But his return to the Phillies after a brief stop in Cleveland at the end of last season is really closing the window on any more "Thome as a Twin" cards. He has several cards in 2012 Topps Series 1 as a Twin but I'm afraid that by the time we get to Heritage [which is in three days...which means I should stop by Target and see it anything has been put out yet!] his days as a Twinkie on cardboard might be gone for good.
Here are my latest Thome pickups:
