"Eddie (Stanky, Manager of the White Sox) very rarely ordered anybody to throw at someone and they were usually the younger guys. There were also guys that just couldn’t do that. When that happened he’d get on them. Remember that was expected in those days, I know when one of our guys got hit, I didn’t have to be told to do it. I had to protect my teammates. There were also times when a pitch just would get away from you. I know I hit Carl Yastrzemski in the neck.. I wasn’t trying to hit him, I was trying to pitch him inside and it got away from me. Jose Santiago then hit me right in the head." - Gary Peters (Gary Peters Interview, Mark Liptak Interviewer, Baseball Almanac Website)
