The Baseball Player Who Helped Change The World

Pete Frates was a very, very good Div. 1 baseball player at Boston College. A captain for the Eagles, as a matter of fact. For a long time, baseball was what helped define him. But this baseball player has come to represent so much more than just the game that he loved. Frates, who passed away in 2019 after a battle with ALS, was the impetus for one of the most impactful fundraising campaigns in history, the Ice Bucket Challenge. Since the 2014 initiative, Frates and his family have continued to spearhead the fight against the disease, raising hundreds of millions of dollars while helping researchers close in on an answer to ALS. Bradfo catches up to Pete's mother, Nancy Frates, and current Diamondbacks minor-leaguer John West at the 'Plunge for Pete' to discuss the impact one former baseball star continues to make.
