Pete Frates is one of the universally recognized graduates of Boston College. For his family, as the fight against ALS continues, there's the lasting image from the Beanpot.
For anyone who knows Pete Frates, there's going to be the lasting image. In the back of the image hulks Fenway Park's Green Monster. Pete stands in the foreground, a gold jersey on his body with the maroon logo, lettering, and piping caked in dirt. A look of exultation on his face, his arms remain outstretched above his head, holding the treasured trophy of the Beanpot.
This Beanpot marks 10 years since Frates went 4-for-4 for the Eagles, homering into the right field bullpen area as his team defeated Harvard by a 10-2 margin.
