WCU Alumni & Atlanta Braves left fielder, never forgot his roots by Angela Weinkle * WCnewsmagazine The All- American male childs dream is to grow up and play professional baseball. Every child wants to stand in The House that Ruth built, bat against pitchers like Roger Clemmons, Randy Jonson, and Greg Maddox. A lot of boys dont make it, but there is always one that beats all the odds and faces Barry Bonds face to face. Charles Thomas was just like every other boy growing up. He imagined that he was catching the World Series. One thing that is different about Thomas and the rest of the boys his age is that he made it to the major leagues. Thomas started in Asheville playing little league, then moved up and played at Asheville High School. After graduating Thomas got a scholarship to WCU to play baseball. After college, he was drafted into the minor league. That is where he stayed unti! the day his dreams came true. Thomas was in Florida when he got the call. He was already in bed when his phone rang. He jumped out of bed and called a cab. He had gotten to the field to late to start, but he went in to pinch-hit. After that game, he started in left field for the Atlanta Braves. All of this started a few months earlier when Thomas was back at home and went by Asheville High to stay sharp. Gene Hammons, his high school coach, was around the gym and worked with Thomas for a while. Hes known around here, Hammons said. Thomas helped out the high school team while he was in town. He gave something back; knowledge. They know him and they like him. Thomas has always been someone that never forgot where he came from. It's his dedication, Hammons said. Thomas never gave up when he was injured in the minor leagues. He kept playing and that is what is thought to be why he was in a slump right before the call. Coach Hammons worked with him like old times, and it paid off. Because of his work ethics and love for the game, that was the basic recipe for him. Thomas has always loved baseball and watched the major league players to make sure he would be just like them. Hes playing with guys he use to | cheer for and admire, Hammons said. During one of Thomass early games, the Braves were playing the Red Sox. Thomas had gone three for four at the plate and was sitting on second base. The Sox called a time out. Nomar Garciaparra, the short stop, walks over to the bag and started talking to Thomas. Then before he walked away, Garciaparra patted him on the back. It is things like that that helps him remember that he had made it to the major leagues. Thomas has shown a lot of young boys that dreams do come true. Charles himself is a perfect example of what hard work and dedication can do for you, boosted Hammons proudly. He has the opportunity and will make the most of it. You will read about, cheer, foilow, and support Charles with all of the other hero's, Hammons said. Thomas has shown children all over that dreams do come true.
