Marc "Thunder" (or 'Thunda' by those Umps from Jersey) Pekny started playing AAA ball in the Budweiser Sports League at Creve Coeur Park in 1996-8. He then graduated into the big leagues in April 1999 and signed by the Total Packages, where he became the grunt of many jokes and bad plays. Spent most of the time in 1999 at the bottom of the order and came up with a handful of solid hits right over the shortstop...."most often replaced by pinch runner"...last game of fall season first career tater...gave the ball to Mrs. Thunder.

2000 should be a better season with off-season training...goal of .650 OBP...


Memorable moment (Good) 1st HR, a Grand slam on last day of season.
(Bad) missed grounders, few whiffs at the plate.
(Most Memorable) fielded grounder off of ass at 1st base.

Last book: "Millionare Next Door"

Advice: "Don't forget to eat your biscuits."

Intro Music: "Thunderstruck," by AC/DC.

Barry hasn't been seen since.


Editor's Note: Thunder is a tremendous example of the improvements that can be accomplished with hard work and great attitude despite limited athleticism. (i.e. he runs really, really badly, but can still help the team) Thunder's enthusiasm and entrance music has made him a minor celebrity at the ballpark.

Nobody has more fun on game day than Thunder.
