Name New Tiger Coach Turned Back By Dodgers
Harald Peck, famed Milwaukee Brewers outfielder, survived a severe toe injury from a shooting accident and a protracted recovery to draw interest from several major clubs. In 1943 he joined the Dodgers under a special shoe to aid his injured foot, while Milwaukee and Chicago clubs weighed offers as his value climbed. Peck, 27, 5-11, 175, led the American Association in batting with a .398 average, using his speed and a sponge rubber toe pad to beat out bunts. Off the field, Fred Littau was named athletic director at Huron High School, replacing Irvin Nelson, with duties across football, basketball, and track.
