PHILADELPHIA — While most of the All-Star players spent the evening Monday hanging out at parties, clubs and restaurants after the Home Run Derby, Chicago White Sox rookie center fielder Tristan Peters was stressed out at the local hospital.
Peters, one of the best rags to riches stories to make the All-Star team, even having a 17-game stint with the Savannah Bananas, was enjoying himself at the Derby on Monday, watching teammate Munetaka Murakami, when his phone buzzed.
It was his wife, Erin, who he originally met in Mesa, Arizona at Scootin’ Boots on the Arizona Line Dancing circuit.
She was in bed with their 4-month-old daughter, Elaine.
And couldn’t get up.
