Joe Thornton is coming home!

Jumbo Joe grew up hours away from Toronto and now, at the age of 41, has a chance to play with his hometown team and win the first Stanley Cup of his career.  Usually with hometown players, there's a picture from their youth of them wearing some kind of paraphernalia and Thornton's case is pretty similar....

 

Joe Thornton as a kid, big @bluejays fan.

It's not quite the John Tavares bedsheets picture or the TJ Brodie picture, but it'll certainly do!
