Jim Thome Honored With Statue; Who’s Next?

Former Indians star, Jim Thome, now has a statue near Heritage Park in his honor. It is to be officially unveiled at the game on Saturday. Thome has confided that he is not entirely comfortable with the statue. It isn't that he's ungrateful or shy; he simply feels that his former Indians teammates are also deserving. "It is a great gesture," he does say. But he isn't the only one who isn't quite sure how to feel about it. There are conflicting opinions among fans as well. To that he says, "I never played baseball for statues. I played because I loved the game. I love coming to the park. I love going out for a steak dinner with the guys after the game. I love everything about baseball."
