Biography Peters, who wore glasses, hit just .236 in his career and only hit about .300 once -- in 39 at-bats in 1947. However, he played every infield position and found work as a utility player. In 1937, he had 339 at-bats for the Philadelphia Athletics (his career high) and hit 3 home runs, drove in 43 runs and stole 4 bases. His career included stops with the Athletics (1936-1938), Cleveland (1940-44, 1946) and the Browns (1947).
