I don't know the exact answer but in my old baseball Encyclopedia book he is listed as Grover Cleveland Alexander (Pete)-smaller font than this. He was also called "Old Pete" when he came out of bullpen in the 1926 world series to strike out NY Yankee T. Lazzeri in Game 7 with the bases loaded. He also had 2 complete game wins over NY. I also read that that the Cubs placed him on waivers somewhere at the begging of the season. The baseball writers gave him the name of Old Pete. Another name used by friends and family was "Dode". He had a difficult life after baseball!
