The roast
If you go to Page 6 of the sports section in The Sun, you'll find an almost life-size picture of me in an ad for my charity roast at the Comedy Factory on Oct. 15. I'm allowing a number of local media celebrities to hit me with their best shots to raise money for the Cool Kids Campaign.
Tickets are $25 and you can get them by calling the Cool Kids Campaign at 410-560-1770.
I'm trying to be a good sport, but it's already getting thick. When I asked the organizers what time my roast starts (8 p.m.), somebody said "as soon as you put the apple in your mouth."

Anyone who uses the word "schmuck" in any of their jokes should be immediately disqualified.

Holding a dedicated roast for you is somewhat redundant when you consider that you get roasted virtually every day in the press box.

Pete's reply: Can't argue with that.

Pete: An almost life-sized picture of you? What did they do? Deliver an entire roll of newsprint with every paper? Good luck for a good cause.

Dude whats with the shoes? lol My 9 year old son was crackn on your docksiders. The outfit is a joke right? You cant really dress like that. Well you do work for the sun. Arizona is a long way from home, could you tell me where the AZ fall league is played like what town or stadium? I live in Tucson and would like to see the kid they just drafted. I hope you know what I said is all in fun and you actually seem cool.

Pete's reply: Yes, I actually dress like that some of the time, but I'm pretty sure nobody reads me because of my fashion sense. The Orioles who are in the Fall League play at the Surprise, Ariz., spring training complex. The AFL probably has a website that can give you schedule info.

Peter did inherit some good instincts and work ethic from his ancestors but by really working hard, he managed to overcome all of them.
