Pete Flynn, Shea’s groundskeeper has died

Sad news that we’ve lost a good one.

Back in my vendor days Pete was always friendly to us kids (unlike the jerky ushers).  I remember chatting with Pete about the movable stands at Shea – if I recall correctly he was not a fan.

There’s a video about Pete on MLB.com.  I would embed it but baseball’s entire business is based upon page clicks for this Pete Flynn video, so I can’t embed it.
