Career

A left-handed power hitter, he was drafted to the Chicago White Sox in the 2002 Major League Baseball Draft in the 24th round[http://www.thebaseballcube.com/players/B/Thomas-Brice.shtml Baseball statistics] at The Baseball Cube] after being named as the 2002 Alabama Junior College Player of the Year.[http://www.baseball.com.au/?Page=10762 Profile at Australian Baseball]

In 2004, he was part of the Australian Olympic baseball team, who achieved a silver medal in the baseball tournament at the Athens Olympics. In the Gold Medal Game, down 2–0 in the 4th with two on and two out, Brice hit a long fly to center against Norge Vera that was caught by CF Carlos Tabares at the wall in a controversial play that got Jon Deeble ejected for arguing the call.[http://www.smh.com.au/olympics/articles/2004/08/26/1093518007627.html Ejection and dejection for baseballers] He finished 0 for 3 with a walk in the 6–2 defeat as Australia won Silver.
