[edit] Biographical Information

Pete Lovrich pitched in 20 games in the majors in 1963. He was at Arizona State University in 1962, and was the first player from there to come to the major leagues. Sterling Slaughter was at ASU at the same time.

Lovrich was only 20 when he pitched for the 1963 Athletics, but he was not the youngest player on the team. That honor went to an 18-year-old kid named Tony LaRussa, who made his major league debut a couple weeks after Lovrich did.

One source says that the 1965 Topps baseball card of Lew Krausse (#462) is actually a photo of Lovrich.

He pitched for the Minot Mallards in 1962.

After baseball he worked for Commonwealth Edison and lived for years in Mokena, IL. Source: Northern League players
