Dave Thune

Dave grew up in Vienna, VA and started playing baseball when he was nine years old.

He learned about the DCMSBL while playing softball, and began playing in the DCMSBL in 1990. He has played for the Annandale White Sox, Twins, Twin Rifles, Fedlock Falcons, Suns ,Loudoun Outlaws, Loudoun Nationals, Potomac River Bandits, Fairfax Outlaws, and The Dukes.

"Through out the last 34 years in the league, I have so many memories of games, championships and tough losses, but most of all, all the friends I have made. Not just in the DC area, but all over the country and outside of the country as well."

"I'd like to thank my late big brother, Steve Thune, for introducing me to the game and letting me hang around and learn from the older guys, making me a better ball player. I had great coaching as a little leaguer and Babe Ruth in Vienna."

"I walked away from the game at 15 for other activities such as dirt bike riding, water skiing, and many other things. I played softball for many years, but always loved the game of baseball and missed it. At 29 years old, I heard about MSBL, and a few friends put a team together. This is one of the best things that has ever happened to me, all these years later, and 14 national championships in Florida and Arizona, playing at Cooperstown's Double Day Field, Puerto Rico, and many tourneys all over the country. It has been a great ride so far."
