As World Data Systems believes children are our future and that strong communities help provide the foundation for them to fulfill their potential, they sponsor a 15U youth baseball team called “Thunder.” Thunder will play a local team (TBD) as parents and fellow Americans watch the next generation play America’s pastime on the Field where dreams come true!
