Where does he rank among all first basemen in history?
Gehrig probably still number one, then Pujols and Foxx. I like Murray and Mize next. Then between Thomas, Bagwell, McGwire, Killebrew and McCovey, none are clearly superior. So Thome could rank as high as sixth. Hitting decently, 21 extra base hits and 31 walks in only 63 games is still helping the team
