Long Distance

For those of you who saw Thome's last home run, you can attest to the fact that it was a blast. It went 8-9 rows deep in the bleachers, and Comerica is widely acknowledged as a pitcher's park with a cavernous outfield. With that in mind, it's interesting that that home run was actually the shortest of his four so far this season. He "only" hit it 404 ft; that's a testament to how hard Thome is hitting the ball right now.
