Today’s BC Interruption Hall of Fame inductee is a face familiar to all of the BC community, Pete Frates.
Frates patrolled the outfield at Shea Field from 2004 to 2007, appearing in 148 career games over four seasons, and was voted captain his senior year. He hit for a career .227 average, while launching 11 homers and driving in 56 runs. Frates was known for his speed on the basepaths, swiping 34 bases in 41 attempts, including 19 during the 2006 season, good for third all-time in the BC record books. A selfless player, Frates is fifth all-time in the career sacrifice hits with 20, including 11 in 2006, placing him seventh all-time in a single season at Boston College.
