Pete Coscarart, former major league player
Robert talks with Pete Coscarart (coss-CAR-art), an 82-year old former major league player who file suit yesterday against Major League Baseball for the use of his likeness in publicity. Coscarart, along with more than 500 other former major league players and their heirs have filed a class action suit seeking to recover lost benefits and royalties denied them in the sport's multi-billion dollar memorabilia merchandising industry.
