I have been playing and watching sports of every type since I was about 8 years old AND, being a long suffering Chicago Team fan, have never seen such a boneheaded lapse in judgement.
It does border on throwing the game by being so cavalier, oh...we’ll waste a play..sure.
Seattle fans would be right to shun Pete thereby causing him to disappear to where bad coaches go to mold.
Same here. I was 7 & 1/2 when the Hitless Wonders won the penant - a night of revelry I shall never forget. Luis Aparicio was my hero, my model for when I later played shortstop. Sat at the 20,000 foot elevation in the old Chgo Stadium for $2 to see Tom Boerwinckle etal. Saw Roller Derby at the Coliseum (saw the Rascals there too). Caught the Black Hawks some too, but they had Hull & Mikita to bring some pride. I remember the Loyola Ramblers winning the 1963 NCAA, and I remember them leading Alcindor’s UCLA Bruins at half time with Doug Wardlaw, Jim Tillman, and Corky Bell. And I remember those Rosemont Blue Demons with Aguirre. Yup, Chgo sports nearlly always came up short.
