Phillies - Great Philadelphia beat writer Paul Hagen speculated that it still might be possible for Jim Thome to return to the Phillies.
Like many people, I had also wondered if Gentleman Jim might be headed back to South Philadelphia this season in my Yahoo Sports column in early August.
How amazing it would be for him to wear those red pinstripes once more.
He can still smack the long ball and this could very well be his last year in baseball.
If the gods of baseball are smiling on the fans of Philly this year, Thome will run onto the field as the team wins its third-ever championship this October.
