Thome Dynasty Continues with Draft | Chicago White Sox News
Description
Landon Thome, son of baseball legend Jim Thome, was drafted 34th overall by the Chicago White Sox — the very team his father once played for — in a moment that felt like destiny, as Landon was conceived on the day his dad hit his 500th home run. Now 18, Landon’s journey begins with a deep family legacy, coaching from his dad, Jim, who’s now a special assistant for the team. The emotional draft day was capped by Landon throwing a ceremonial pitch to his father in Charlotte, with Harold Baines catching the historic moment. Jim, visibly nervous, called it “a dream come true” for his son — and for the entire family — as Landon prepares to chase his own path to the World Series, carrying forward the Thomes’ enduring love for the game.
