Peete Emerges as Tucson Cowboy Ace in Arizona-Mexico League

James Peete has become a fan favorite at Hi Corbett Field for the Tucson Cowboys after a four-hit game against the Phoenix Stars that sealed his 20th win. Scouts from Boston, Cincinnati, Cleveland and Pittsburgh watched, sparking sale rumors with an initial price cited at 5,000 to 10,000 dollars, later rising to 25,000 though no deal materialized. Peete’s focus remained on pitching and potential move, saying he would like to reach Omaha with his brother Charley or Cincinnati, while stating he does not expect to play in Tucson next year.
