Pete Munro

Peter Daniel (Pete) Munro (born June 14, 1975 in Flushing, New York) is a former starting pitcher in Major League Baseball who played for the Toronto Blue Jays (1999-2000) and Houston Astros (2002-2004). He batted and threw right-handed.

After being selected by the Boston Red Sox in the 1993 draft, Munro was sent by Boston to the Toronto Blue Jays in 1998 in the same transaction that brought Mike Stanley to the Red Sox.

Munro debuted with Toronto in 1999. After pitching in part of two seasons he was traded to the Houston Astros. His career highlight came on June 11, 2003, when he combined with Houston pitchers Roy Oswalt, Kirk Saarloos, Brad Lidge, Octavio Dotel, and Billy Wagner to throw the first no-hitter against the New York Yankees in 45 years. The Astros sextet also set a major league record for the highest number of pitchers to throw a no-hitter.

In a five-season career, Munro posted a 13-19 record with 189 strikeouts and a 4.88 ERA in 315-1/3 innings pitched. Another highlight in Munro's career is in the 2004 NLCS he got the ball in game 2 and game 6.(In Game 6 he was picked to start over arguably the greatest pitcher of our generation Roger Clemens.)

Munro started 2006 pitching for the Rochester Red Wings, a Triple-A affiliate of the Minnesota Twins. He signed with Uni-President Lions of Taiwan's Chinese Professional Baseball League in March 2007, and was selected to the CPBL All-Star Game in July. Munro has signed with the York Revolution of the Atlantic League for the 2008 season.He then was injured and released by the york revolution in 2008.
