Holy Cross Athletics

Pete Cote was the regular shortstop on the Holy Cross baseball team for four years.

A co-captain of the 1926 squad, he teamed with Hall of Famer Doc Gautreau to form one of the best middle infield combinations in Holy Cross history.

Cote was noted for his fine fielding, rifle arm and long ball hitting. He played on teams that posted an overall mark of 89-9-2, while winning three successive Eastern collegiate championships.

Cote signed with the New York Giants after graduation and played professional ball for several years. He passed away on Oct. 18, 1987.
