Home Run Derby

First, ESPN.com called Jim Thome’s 3-Run Home Run last night a Grand Slam (I mean a BOOYAH!).

But that’s not where the bad reporting ended on Jim Thome Home Runs this morning.  Because Yahoo! Sports can’t figure out how many career Home Runs Thome has.

From the Yahoo! Game Recap …

Thome followed by hitting a 0-1 pitch opposite field to left, his 22nd homer of the season and 429th of his career, giving the White Sox an early 3-0 lead.

Sheesh … even Detroit Tigers pitcher Justin Verlander knew that Thome has already hit 500 Home Runs.  529 to be exact.

But what’s the difference between 429 and 529 Home Runs? 

Besides a call from the Hall of Fame.
