White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen has been sharply critical of Indians fans for booing Thome the last two seasons. "Cleveland fans should appreciate what that man has done for that organization. To be honest, Jim Thome put the Cleveland Indians back on the baseball map when he was there. And people have to respect that. That's why I say when they boo him, it's sad and embarrassing because he's going to be in the Hall of Fame in a Cleveland Indians hat." -- Chicago Tribune

You know what? I agree. Thome's been gone from the Tribe for years now. No need to cling to any hard feelings.

Exactly! One of the few times Ozzie has made sense to me!!! Thome definitely put the Indians on the map in the 90s, and he is a classy guy, too. Why continue to boo him?
