Thanks for sharing, Lee. That day, @MarkKreidler and Pedro had a running joke that Rio and I would face off late in the game. This happened and you can see how Pedro was as thrilled for me as he wouldโve been had Rio punched me out. Selfless man with a lot of joy to give. RIP โค๏ธ
Last memory of Pedro was at a UCLA-Arizona baseball game at Jackie Robinson Stadium. His son, Rio, was pitching for AZ. Ryan Kreidler, son of @MarkKreidler, was hitting for UCLA. "What a win for sportswriters," he said. Today, what a loss.
