NEW YORK (AP) — Fritz Peterson, the New York Yankees pitcher who famously swapped wives and families with teammate Mike Kekich in 1973, has died. He was 81. Peterson died of lung cancer at his home in Winona, Minnesota, on Oct. 19, according to death records from the Winona County Vital Records Department. His body was cremated. News of his death began to emerge Friday with an announcement by Northern Illinois, his alma mater, which erroneously said he was 82. |
