Jim Thome is off social media, so it's a bit difficult to get him on the airwaves.

Well, folks at ESPN Cleveland had a little wager for an intern to get the Hall of Famer on their radio station.

The intern, named Nick, was challenged to book Thome on "The Really Big Show" on the station. If he were successful, the college student would win $100.

Nick went to work, but apparently he crossed the line.

Again, with Thome off social media, Nick turned to Thome's wife, Andrea, and the couple's high-school son.

Nick tagged both Andrea and the son in numerous posts and sent Thome's wife numerous requests to get Jim on.

The show's listeners added in on what they considered to be the fun. However, it was anything but for Andrea Thome.

"I am all about kindness and connection, but this is my personal account—not a vehicle for booking my husband on talk radio shows," she wrote on X, formerly Twitter. "Please don’t berate me for that, and please don’t tag our children in those endeavors, either. He has an agent for a reason.
