Joey Makes the Big Leagues




Well Joey Thatcher has finally achieved what all of us close to him had hoped he would get a taste of some day. Joe has been playing in the Milwaukee Brewers organization. He recieved the notice that he had been traded to the San Diego Padres organization in a three-person trade. Scary enough to be called in to the managers office and think you are being traded after you have spent so long trying to move up in the Brewers organization....but that tradeproved to be quite POSTIVE!


Joe would be dressing on their major league roster and was flown out to San Diego immediately. Since then he has proved himself on their roster. He has shown us that dreams really do come true. I know my family is extremely proud of him and his new position on the Padre roster. Seems like all of Kokomo has become huge PADRE fans, they even started hanging Padre banners in a few of our bars around town! GREAT JOB JOE!!
