Gary Peters Stats

Gary Peters was born on Wednesday, April 21, 1937, in Grove City, Pennsylvania. Peters was 22 years old when he broke into the big leagues on September 10, 1959, with the Chicago White Sox. His biographical data, year-by-year hitting stats, fielding stats, pitching stats (where applicable), career totals, uniform numbers, salary data and miscellaneous items-of-interest are presented by Baseball Almanac on this comprehensive Gary Peters baseball stats page.
"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)
