JIM THOME RUMORS & GOSSIP
I'm Not Surprised: "Realistic" Chance Jim Thome is Ready for A.L. Road Trip to DH for Phillies

Jim Thome Doesn’t Live In Double Wide; Look At His New $4.6M Mansion!
Here we figured all these years that Jim Thome spent his winters in a double wide in Peoria, IL and scraped by because he was an Every Man. We’ve been lied to by broadcasters who’ve given Thome his Paul Bunyan mystique, yet the guy is now living in a house with his & hers showers. Just look at that bathroom.
