Awards Quote by Jim Thome
“This is a tremendous honor (winning the 2002 Roberto Clemente Award), to be considered in the same class as Roberto Clemente. He is a hero and role model for all of us who play the game and strive to be as good a player and person as he was.”

You're driving, and somebody might wave or somebody might flip you off.” quote by Jim Thome](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/94c/jim-thome-26505_cities_the-passion-is-my-favorite-part-of-the-c_213192.jpg)
