Jim Thome 500 Career Home Runs Bobblehead
Don’t miss out on this year’s White Sox Charities Bobblehead celebrating Jim Thome!
Commemorating Thome's historic 500th career home run on September 16, 2007, the bobblehead captures the five-time All-Star's celebration after a game-ending blast to lift the White Sox to a 9-7 walk-off victory over the Los Angeles Angels. Rounding the bases with his right arm raised, Thome is shown in White Sox pinstripes with his signature eye black in one of the franchise’s most iconic moments. He was the first player in Major League Baseball history to reach the 500 milestone on a walk-off home run and the first to hit his 500th career homer in a White Sox uniform. A three-digit dial built into the base of the bobblehead also allows fans to count up to 500, a nod to the crowd's famous countdown before Thome was carried off the field by his teammates in celebration.
The bobblehead is available for $40, with all net proceeds benefiting CWSC and Assistance League Chicagoland West. The nonprofit provides community education and self-reliance programming throughout DuPage and western Cook counties. Each purchase also includes a limited-edition numbered certificate of authenticity.
