One Complaint By Old Pete
Grover Cleveland Alexander died at 63 after 22 years in baseball and one notable complaint about a World Series call by umpire Hildebrand in 1926. He recalled his lone lingering comment on the seventh game when Ruth and the bases were loaded, and how he delivered a strikeout to end the threat. He maintained his reputation as a drinker was overstated and described his late relief performance for the Cardinals, hoping to prove his enduring pitching legacy beyond the quick, dramatic moment.
