I was about 7 playing my first little league season in 1966 and got number 14. I thought I'd died and gone to heaven at the time. I was a short chubby kid at the time and couldn't hit fast pitch yet, but I'm crouched over like Pete and nailed a foul ball off a big ass walnut tree by right field that bounced back to the infield.. My favorite memory of Pete was when he sent Bud Harrleson flying out to left field with a smack in the face in the year they lost the pennant to the Mets.. I hated Bud Harrleson..
