With his red socks pulled high to his knees, Jim Thome pointed his bat outward in his well-known stance before taking a swing and one last trip around the bases in the ballpark where his number is now on permanent display. Cleveland's Trevor Bauer, who is 12-6 with a 2.22 ERA and is among the AL leaders in ERA, innings pitched and strikeouts, will miss 4-6 weeks because of a fracture in his leg.
On Saturday, the Cleveland Indians retired Thome's No. 25, honoring the Hall of Fame slugger with an emotional pregame ceremony before dropping a 2-1 decision to the Baltimore Orioles, another of the six teams Thome played for from 1991 to 2012.
