Change of Scenery Key For Thome

In a risky acquisition, last week the La Chapelle-aux-Saints Neanderthals attained the services of Jim Thome. Having a dreadful year (.207 / .297 / .393) the first basemen has already left his mark in La Chappelle. After going hitless in his first three games in his new uniform, Thome has blasted 5 home runs in his last three and is now batting .333 / .391 / 1.048, with a 1.439 OPS for the Neanderthals.
