Former Fieldhouse concessions manager dies

Rest in Peace Pete Vonachen.:cry: You lived a great life and gave back in so many ways.:D You will be missed by many. Harry Carey has his best friend back to cheer on the Cubs.:lol:
 
In my opinion Mr. Vonachan is a legend in Peoria sports history, and a reminder that non-athletes can have a huge role in athletics. Coaches, administrators, fans, team owners, broadcast and print media, and others can greatly influence outcomes and the enjoyment of athletics in general.
I can give no greater example of this than of Pete's dear friend Harry Caray, who certainly gave a lot of joy to many people within and outside athletics.
