ohhh man Thome's 400th. I was at the game, front row right next to first base. 6/14 it was the rain make up game vs the reds which was supposed to be the first night game ever at Citizens Bank Park. Not only that, my friend sitting next to me called Pat the Bat going yard as the crowd was still on its feet for James Howard Thome. And if I remember correctly, that game was also put into a rain delay before the 5th and everyone was worried number 400 wouldn't count, but they ended up continuing the game and 400 stood, just like Thome did above the city of Philadelphia at that moment. What a memory!
Good memory Jordan. I forgot that it was a makeup and how everyone was worried it wouldnt be official. What a great memory!
