Rusty Peters, who played in parts of 10 seasons in the major leagues, died on Feb. 21, 2003 in Harrisonburg, Virginia.
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).
