Where Did The Net Worth Come From?

Jim Thome had an interesting batting stance. It involved holding the bat out with his right hand and pointing it at right field before the pitcher was ready to throw. He learned it from his former Phillies manager Charlie Manuel. Manuel got it from watching The Natural starring Robert Redford. He called it a timing mechanism that taught Thome how to relax before taking a hit.
