What a lot of the youngins that never got to see Pete play don't realize, when just looking at the stats. Pete lived for baseball - PERIOD

I heard Johnny Bench describe Pete in an interview something like this "Pete, would run thru a house on fire in a gasoline suit to play baseball" Pete played every inning of every game with an intensity that was just unequaled. He never stopped giving it his all at every moment.

And they don't realize how big Pete was in the mid 70's thru early 80's. Shaving Ads, cover of S.I. Wheatie Boxes, game shows. Like Michael Jordan and Barry Sanders rolled into one.

He deserves to be in the hall
