Reading Baseball: Memories

Sign
A historic marker where Forbes Field used to sit.

Memory makes us. If we couldn't recall the who, what, where, and when of our everyday lives, we would never be able to function.

In this edition of Reading Baseball, Pete Peterson tells us about the time he went in search of a baseball memory and was surprised to learn how his recollection differed from documented history.
 

Reading Baseball is a series of essays and commentaries by Richard "Pete" Peterson, the author of Pops: The Willie Stargell Story and Growing Up With Clemente.
