On this edition of Reading Baseball, Pete Peterson revisits his days as a sore loser, but this time his confessions come with a brighter outlook.
With his grandson visiting from California after the end of his Little League season, Pete remembers how he hated to lose as a youngster, but it’s his love for the game that still burns inside him today as a man in his 80’s.
Reading Baseball is a series of essays and commentaries by Richard “Pete” Peterson, author of Growing Up With Clemente and the editor of The St. Louis Baseball Reader, newly released in paperback.
