Remembering Peter Libman by Havelock Hewes

   Peter Libman was a better-than-average infielder who played 134 softball games with us between 1994 and 2007. He was a career .404 hitter.  A close look at his statistics uncovers one of the most remarkable single seasons - albeit short -ever.  In 2001 Peter was 19 for 35 and had 19 rbi's and 7 homeruns.  Over a full season (say, 210 ab's) that would project to 114 rbi's and 42 homers.
  Peter was married to Sue Kostner and together they hosted some of our winter meetings.  Peter was a dean at a ballet school and lived in the dorms with possibly the most beautiful women ever assembled in one building.  Peter and Sue baked and cooked for us and served the most tasty eats ever at our parties.  I have a memory of a very contentious argument at their apartment in which the tree rule narrowly triumphed!
  After 1995, I saw Peter on his occasional appearances at games and at a handful of folk concerts.  I knew he had been ill.  Still, I was surprised when I got Paul Geoghan's e-mail saying that Peter had died.    He was a good listener, a great community member and, at least for one season, the most lethal power hitter in SFLOI history.
