Baseball's Walk-Off King

Jim Thome hit a lot of home runs - 612 to be exact. But do you know what's really crazy? He holds the MLB record for most walk-off homers with 13.

Watch his walk-off highlights here

Thome had a knack for ending games whether it was a solo shot or a grand slam. He even hit one that literally left the stadium in Cleveland. But he never made a big deal about it; he just rounded the bases and headed home like it was another day at work.

Nobody's hit more walk-off homers than Thome. It’s just another reason why he's one of the all-time greats!

Thome Thursday: The Monster Shot

Ever wonder how far the longest home runs can go? On July 3, 1999, Jim Thome showed everyone exactly how far when he crushed a baseball 511 feet at Progressive Field (then called Jacobs Field). That's longer than one and a half football fields! The ball soared over the center field wall, beyond the bleachers in deep center, and took one hop on the concourse before leaving the ballpark entirely. The blast was so legendary that the Indians installed a special brass marker where the ball landed - a marker that's still there today, reminding fans of the day Thome hit what remains the longest home run in Cleveland baseball history. Most major leaguers are happy to hit a ball 400 feet. Thome hit one more than 500 feet. Just another day at the office for baseball's Mr. Incredible. Watch the historic blast with Tom Hamilton's call See the amazing drone flight showing the ball's path Enjoy this post? Never miss out on future posts by  following this blog .

Beyond the Guardians Prospect Spotlight: Dalton Rushing, Los Angeles Dodgers

Here's the next installment of a series highlighting non-Guardians prospects. These first appeared at Prospects1500.com . I got to do the write-up for the Dodgers #2 prospect. We're probably going to see this guy in the majors this year!  Dalton Rushing Rushing dominated the minors in 2024, posting a .271/.385/.512 line with 26 homers and 85 RBI across Double and Triple-A. His biggest assets are his plus power and above-average hit tool, complemented by impressive plate discipline. Though listed as a catcher, the Dodgers have been giving him reps in the outfield while he works on his defense behind the plate. Despite his 6’1”, 220-pound frame, he’s surprisingly athletic for his size. He’ll likely start 2025 in Triple-A but should get his shot in LA during the season. Dynasty owners should be excited about his power upside in that loaded Dodgers lineup. What do you think about Rushing? Let me know in the comments below. Enjoy this post?

Beyond the Guardians Prospect Spotlight: Zac Veen, Colorado Rockies

Veen is ranked #5 in the Rockies system at Prospects1500 . Below is the 2025 pre-season blurb I contributed to the Prospects1500 site. Let me know your thoughts on Veen in the comments below.  Zac Veen , OF, 23, Triple-A The ninth overall pick from 2020, Veen’s progress hit another speed bump in 2024 as various ailments (back, hand, thumb) limited him to just 65 games across multiple levels in the Rockies’ system. Despite the interruptions, the 23-year-old flashed his trademark speed and defensive skills when available, though he continued to struggle with consistent contact at the plate. Colorado’s decision to protect him on their 40-man roster ahead of the Rule 5 draft signals their long-term commitment. As 2025 approaches, Veen’s path likely starts at Triple-A, with a big-league debut possible if he can maintain his health and find more consistency in his swing. The tools for fantasy impact remain, provided he can stay on the diamond. Enjoy this post? Never miss out on future po...
