Thome, Nomar Named Comeback Players

Congrats to White Sox slugger Jim Thome for being voted the 2006 Comeback Player of the Year for the American League. Former Cub and current Dodger first baseman Nomar Garciaparra won the Comeback vote for the National League. In his first year with the White Sox, Thome hit 42 homers and had 109 RBIs. Both players overcame injuries in 2005 and stayed relatively healthy in 2006 to make valuable contributions to their respective teams.
