2011 Twins Milestones
Liriano's No-Hitter & Thome's Quest for
600
|
Francisco Liriano Quiets the White Sox: Liriano pitched
the first no-hitter of the 2011 MLB season when he and
the Twins shutout the Chicago White Sox 1-0 on May 3.
Liriano's no-hitter was the fifth for the franchise since
moving to Minnesota in 1961.
To celebrate this event, find Francisco Liriano No-Hitter
Ticket Frames and display your ticket and memories of
this historic event.
Entering the season, Jim Thome stood at 589 career
home runs. And with the power and hitting skill that he
displayed in 2010, Thome is likely to eclipse the 600
Home Run mark in mid-season. Despite turning 40 last
August, Thome batted .283 and hit 25 HR's in just 108
games.
Heading into the season, the Twins 1B ranked 8th in
career MLB Home Runs. Only seven major leaguers
have hit 600+ HR's in their MLB career. If Thome can
surpass Sosa's 609 career home run mark, he will then
move from 8th to 7th place on all-time list.
Once the Peoria, IL native hits HR #600 a series of
collectibles will be available from the historic event
including framed photos, plaques and Jim Thome #600
Home Run Ticket Frames for fans who were there to
witness the event.
