JERSEY HONORING JIM THOME'S TIME WITH THE COLORADO SPRINGS SKY SOX
History: Hall of Famer Jim Thome hit 612 homers over his 22-year career, putting him at number 8 in the all-time home run record book. He also played in five All-Star games, and in 1996 he won the Silver Slugger award. But before putting on an Indians jersey, he wore red, white, and blue for the Colorado Springs Sky Sox, a AAA team in Cleveland's farm system. In his '92 season with the Sky Sox, he hit .291 and helped win the team the PCL championship.
Made from a polyester knit fabric with a sturdy hand-feel and a tackle twill appliqué logo, this jersey pays homage to the time Jim Thome spent with the Colorado Springs Sky Sox minor league team.
