circa 1950s
In the fall of 1973 as a freshman on the first day of classes I was walking on the south side of West Union near Fritsch's when I spotted the legend, Bob Wren, across the street near the Sundry. Having never met the man, I decided to introduce myself and we started a delightful conversation. He asked where I was from and when I said Medina, he said, "I know your coach very well, Bob Peters was one of the great players during the 1950's here at OHIO and was a star on the team." Coach Wren then told me my Coach Peters was injured slightly for a game and the newspaper carried the headline:" Bobcats to play Marietta with Peters out." Neat first day of classes
I guess that is a somewhat bizarre headline too!
I was in Chicago back in the '60s and South Siders had a pitcher named Peters. He was taken out of the game late and a reliever came in and saved the game. One of the Chicago papers the next day ran the headline: "Sox win with Peters out." Most have been something in the air in the '60s. No way either paper didn't know the double entendre in these headlines.
