My dad can go on for hours about how great he was. I'm talking about the college Pete my dad never really talked about his NBA career but he made him outto be a god they way he talked about his college days

Mantle, Williams, Mays, DiMaggio, etc. All the old school baseball players that my old man still says were real players

Always reminds me of the guys who missed years of their primes because of military service. Teddy Williams missed like over 4 years of his prime.
 
My dad will NOT shut up about Willie Mays.

All I hear about is Willie. And if I even think about tryin to compare someone in any aspect, I get hung up on with the quickness.
