Longtime Lou Gehrig and Senior
Babe Ruth umpire Pete Richardson passed away recently. For those
who have come in contact with Pete, this is a time of great sorrow..
As an umpire, I will always remember how he would
tip his cap to confirm that I had given the correct count. As a
Coach, I will always remember how he loved to work with the kids,
and help them to understand how to play baseball the right way.
As an Administrator, I will always appreciate that for an important
game, Pete Richardson was the umpire you wanted. As a friend, I
will always remember how much Pete smiled when he saw you.
It has been an honor to know Pete, and I hope that
everyone remembers him with as much joy as I do.
