by Mike SpohrBuzzFeedBuzzFeed Staff 1. If you're a baseball fan, you likely know Fritz Peterson, the New York Yankees All-Star pitcher who holds the record for the lowest career E.R.A. (2.52) at the original Yankee Stadium. But the REALLY memorable/shocking part of Peterson's life happened off the field. In 1969, the Yankees swung a trade for Dodgers' pitcher Mike Kevich, and he and Peterson quickly became fast friends. Their wives, Marilyn Peterson and Susan Kekich, also became friends, and the couples (and their children) all began spending a lot of time together.
