He played the most jokes on people when he was in the fifth grade. It will be fun to say I knew him when he was only thirteen. The earth has a lot of great sports players and I think Thatch can play with the best of them. His parents think he will play tennis, but said they don't have the authority to make that decision. He was voted third for the best player in the state and tenth for best player in the region three weeks ago. He is on the right path if playing pro sports is his dream. I told him I thought he would be a pro baseball player and he gave me a thumbs up. 'I'll play anything if I can get paid to do it,' he said. Last month I asked him if he had thought about which sport he wanted to play. Thatch wants to play one or all of the sports professionally someday. He has been playing sports since he was three. He also plays basketball, tennis, and youth soccer - not bad for a thirteen-year-old. Thatch plays third base on the baseball team. He is from South Dakota and he's very athletic. His baseball team is called 'Blue Thunder'. His name is Thatcher, but his friends call him Thatch. The blacksmith makes old-fashioned swords.
