14 YEAR OLD PETE SUDER WAS A BASKETBALL WHIZ


One of the most popular guests the Society ever entertained occurred in 1997 when Pete Suder joined up with Eddie Joost & Ferris Fain to celebrate the Society's First Reunion Breakfast. According to Pete himself it was the first time he had left his home town of Aliquippa, PA since he left baseball in 1955. From the archives of one of Pete's boyhood friends comes this unique team photo taken in 1930 of the Shooting Stars Champion Basketball Team. Pete Suder, upcoming major league ball player is seated in the front row second from the right. Many thanks to the sender of this rare photo, Samuel Grey of Port Huron, Michigan who discovered us when he was searching the internet.

Hey Sam,
Thank you sincerely.

As an aside Pete was known by his friends in his hometown as "PECKY".
