Peavy’s always struck me as having a hockey player’s mentality - tough SOB on the field, good guy off it.
I’m not surprised he’s nice in person; you get his genuiness when he’s interviewed (at least I do).
One of my nephews ran into David Ortiz ~10 years back in Boston; took a couple minutes to chat with him.
“... a hockey players mentality...”
Sort of a “Happy Gilmore” on the Mound, ehh? Haha!
