Huskies receiver Dante Pettis, whose father is former major-leaguer Gary Pettis, knows all about big-stakes games. Dante will play in one Saturday night when Washington hosts Oregon.
Washington’s sophomore wide receiver, Dante Pettis, was understandably nervous Wednesday morning about the big game coming up.
No, not the Huskies’ showdown with Oregon on Saturday, though that will soon become his total focus. Of more immediate concern was the Houston Astros’ American League Division Series elimination game with the Kansas City Royals.
As the son of Astros’ third-base coach Gary Pettis, an outstanding major-league center fielder for 11 seasons, Pettis is heavily invested in the Astros’ fortunes.
