Harvard's former baseball coach, Norm Shepard, labeled Peters' professional status "a tremendous blow to Harvard baseball." When pressed further, Shepard elaborated: "A pitcher like Ray comes along just once in a while. He was one that could throw the ball by the hitter. You don't get a real stopper like Ray every...
