DETROIT _ Dustin Peterson, the Tigers' new outfielder, was sitting by his locker in Comerica Park.
"I know a little bit about your background," I said. "I know you were a high draft pick. Big bonus."
I paused. "But how'd you end up here?"
"I've battled through a bunch of injuries," Peterson said. "I had surgery on my wrist and I was in a team bus accident where I was almost decapitated."
Decapitated?
"Wait, what?"
Then, he told me the wildest story. A story that explains everything.
