Its amazing for a home town kid to become a legend like this and bring the city glory and a championship. Lrbron did it with tue cavaliers. Its very rare this happens

[@izang5800]

He honestly played baseball like his dad played football. And pete was also a running back in high school. His father was a big inspiration for the way he played the game. He said earlier in his career he went 0 for 4. In the parking lot after the game to his surprise was his dad waiting at his car and he said "your 2nd at bat I think you could of ran a little harder to first base. I want you to know the way you play the game out there is a direct reflection of me. I want you to know that there is always someone watching in that someone is me".
