Jim Thome Batting slide

Date2000 May 17

DescriptionA color slide of Jim Thome of the Cleveland Indians captured at bat during a game against the Detroit Tigers on May 17, 2000. Thome is completing his swing as the baseball bat is twisted towards the right side of his body. His legs are wide apart and his feet are barely on the ground as they slide in the dirt. Thome has a straight face. He is dressed in a Cleveland Indians road uniform. An unidentified Detroit Tigers catcher is squatting down behind Thome with his catcher's mitt squeezed shut. An unidentified Cleveland Indians player is leaning against the railing of the dugout. Jacobs Field and the Indians dugout are visible in the background. The date of this slide was determined by information on the slide's casing (not shown).
