KA14_HOF Posted October 1 Report Share Posted October 1 Still a little in shock today that Pete passed away. It's good to know he's actually still part of 1 current Reds' streak. They're 9-0 in their last 9 World Series games. The last time the Reds lost a WS game, Carlton Fisk was hopping up & down along the 1st base line in a game Pete said was one of the best he'd ever played in. Cincinnati then won Game 7, swept the Yankees the following year, and then swept the mighty A's in 1990. Pete was so confident they'd bounce back from that Game 6 loss, and he was right. And Cincinnati hasn't lost in the Fall Classic since. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to recall him once saying that he had never drank, and multiple articles published yesterday said that, as well. Since I posted that last night, they've since said that his cause of death was "hypertensive and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease with a significant condition of diabetes mellitus". If I said that's exactly what I was thinking, I'd be lying. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I said that's exactly what I was thinking, I'd be lying. I wonder if he was taking medication for it? I am thinking no would be my guess. When Johnny said he was in a wheelchair and not looking good, then i guess this was a sign but, I saw his last interview on YT that was last month and he looked good and in good shape to me. He sounded good too. With Diabetes, if you or your doctor does not look for it, and if you do not change your life style ways and take medication, then it will get you eventually, unfortunately. Maybe he stopped seeing a doctor. Damn shame as I wanted him to get in the HOF so I could be there to see it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KA14_HOF Posted October 2 Report Share Posted October 2 This was taken at the Nashville memorabilia show this past Sunday, the day before Pete died. Davey, George, Tony & Ken with Pete. Having grown a fan of the Big Red Machine, these guys just feel like family. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pic is credited to David Glaskin, who ran the autograph show, so I assumed it was him. He may have cropped himself out of the photo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had always heard he did not drink. Did hear he used amphetamines during games, which is way more common that people know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
