What, no love for Dave Kingman?

Anyway, by the time he retires, Ryan Howard will pass them both!xnodx

Thome is awesome...what a class act he truly is!! We were lucky to have him in Chicago for 4 seasons

Pretty nice career for a 13th round draft pick. One of the better things to ever come out of Peoria, IL. At least he didn't go to Bradley.

Thome may be a class act, but IIRC he is the career leader for home runs hit against the Twins, so I wasn't all that sad to see him leave the central again :D

Thome was very well received in Philly. He would still be there but for one name. Ryan Howard.

I always kinda liked Kingman. He struck out a lot and did not field very well but he hit some unbelievable home runs. Even his singles were rockets.

Agreed but I have seen both and I will take Howard any day.
