One of the best starting pitchers in White Sox history. He was Sox career 91-78 2.92 ('59-'69), 77-49 2.50 ('63-'67). Sox won 94+ (2nd place) games multiple times in the mid 60s with stellar pitching staffs (Joel Horlen, Peters, Tommy John), They actually had 2 knuckleball pitchers in the bullpen. HOF-ers Nellie Fox, Minnie Minoso were departing as they got good. Then with bad trades and a barren farm system they'd be one of the worst teams in the league (late 60s) then a long stretch of being mediocre.

Pretty good hitter for a pitcher also.

He was the first pitcher, for lack of a better term because I was 8 yrs old, that I noticed. Then I noticed Horlen, then I REALLY noticed Bob Gibson. Baseball was magical back then and there's really no way to explain it. I don't know why it was and I don't know why it lost it.

4 of his 19 career home runs were as a pinch hitter.
