Peter Michael (Pete) O'Brien (born February 9, 1958 in Santa Monica, California) is a former first baseman in Major League Baseball who played for the Texas Rangers (1982–88), Cleveland Indians (1989) and Seattle Mariners (1990–1993). He batted and threw left-handed.
In a 12-season career, O'Brien posted a .261 batting average with 169 home runs and 736 RBI in 1567 games played.
O'Brien was known for his good fielding and strong hitting. He usually batted third in the Rangers line up, but his offensive exploits were often overshadowed by first baseman like Don Mattingly, Wally Joyner, Mark McGwire and Eddie Murray. O'Brien never appeared in an All-Star game despite several solid seasons.
Pete O'Brien now lives with his family in Colleyville, Texas and owns and operates a floatation and massage therapy spa with his wife, Donna, called At Peace Floatation & Massage. Pete and Donna started the spa with the goal to help remedy some of the damaging effects, both physically and mentally, that stress inflicts on the body.
