Pete Manos

Pete once threw me a curveball in batting practice at Coral Gate Park, and that was the moment I learned that I would never amount to anything in baseball. He was a few steps ahead of all of us on the playing field, and he was also a great, fun-loving guy. I took my first trip out of the country -- to the Bahamas -- with Pete and his Mom in junior high. Years later, I wrote about him for Miami Magazine. I lost touch with him after I moved to LA, but this news hit me hard. Glad to read here...

what a loss my friend of many years pete manos I use to go see him at his place of work at calder race track(casino)we would talk about sports non stop my brother rest in peace I will miss you a lot love always tony alvarez

I am still in shock at this loss. Have lost too many school mates too young. I loved Pete so much. If his Mom is still alive please tell her Cindy Beck sends my sympathy to her.

Gone far too soon. The American Heritage boys all loved his spirit and support. He will be remembered fondly by all who had the privilege of knowing him.

So sad. Pete was a good friend when I needed one. Wish I knew what happened. Can anyone share?
