To: Alberta's Child

He played first for the Phillies and won the World Series. Pete could play anywhere on the field and his bat never failed.

First base is a power hitter's position.

At the end of his career he had 35 doubles, 2 home runs, and 104 RBIs ... over the course of THREE seasons.

Like I said before: absolutely pathetic.

This play, the 2nd out of the 9th inning Game 6 before winning the Phillies’ first World Series in 1980, is the epitome of being a clutch player. RIP.
