What a firecracker Pete is. He seems to always be full of drama and excitement. I wish things were simpler for Pete, but I am confident he would not like that sort of life. I suppose kind of similar to that of other huge stars in the past, like Ruth, Cobb, Mantle etc.
I personally believe Pete is possibly the best actual "baseball player" ever known to play the game. Of course, I may be biased, because he is my favorite player, though I only got to see him manage. With Pete outside of Cooperstown, I think defaces the credit of other HOFer's playing stats. Not sure how other living HOF members look at themselves in the mirror, knowing their hitting stats don't amount to Pete's. It's almost as if Cooperstown is saying, "You don't belong here, because your hit record is just too darn good."
