Additional proof that Jim Thome has been around a long time:
On the day Kate Upton was born -- June 10 1992 -- Thome had accumulated almost two years of major league service time.
Thome got two of the three hits allowed this afternoon by Justin Verlander -- speaking of Kate Upton -- as the Tigers prevailed in Camden Yards 5-1.
He's a nice guy and future Hall of Famer, and we'll be happy if he goes 5 for 5 every time we play the Orioles, as long as we win.
Steve Johnson made his Show debut today in relief for the O's. He's the son of Dave Johnson, and the serious fan will remember that there was a second Dave Johnson in the major leagues, a pitcher, and that he pitched for the Tigers in 1993.
Steve walked the first two hitters he faced in the big leagues, but got out of the jam and went two innings, allowing only a Prince Fielder homer.
