    2. It is obvious to me that our list member Christian Mentrup is a fine and loyal St Louis Brownie "Fan." A well rounded and knowledgeable baseball buff who must have been at Sportsman Park on many of the very same days I was as a young man. I thank him for reminding me that I forgot to give the answers to the five questions on Pete Gray. Here they are: 1. Do you remember which arm Pete Gray was missing? 2. Which side of the plate did he bat from? 3. What did his stance look like? 4. What did he do with his glove when he threw the ball? 5. Did he ever walk from right field? 1. His right arm. 2. He batted from the left side.(The catchers right.) 3. Heels together, knees bent, bat straight up. 4. When in a hurry, tossed ball up, shoved glove under stump, caught ball bare handed and whistled ball to play. 5. Not once did I ever see Pete Gray walk on or off the field, he hustled. And there you have the info on my all time favorite baseball player.----Jim PS Can anyone remember if Pete choked up on the bat, for the life of me I can't remember, but I don't think he did.
