Steve Peters #84T

 

This week, we discussed a lefty reliever who went from saving games to saving lives....Steve Peters! Peters set a record at University of Oklahoma with a 14-0 mark in 1985, then moved through the Cardinals system and had a quick start to his career with a 1.80 ERA in 1987. He couldn't replicate that in 1988 and by 1991 he moved into a second career as a firefighter. Steve dealt with personal tragedy when his son passed away. His firefighting family and twins born when he was 45 helped him through the pain.
