Hal Peck
Harold Arthur Peck (April 20, 1917 – April 13, 1995) was an American professional baseball player. He played in Major League Baseball (MLB) as a right fielder from 1943 to 1949, as a member of the Brooklyn Dodgers, Philadelphia Athletics, and Cleveland Indians. He appeared in the 1948 World Series while a member of the Indians. Peck reached MLB despite losing two toes in a shooting accident.
Career
In 1937, Peck's father-in-law arranged for a tryout with the Milwaukee Brewers of the American Association. The Brewers signed Peck, and sent him to play for the Hopkinsville Hoppers of the Kentucky-Illinois-Tennessee League in 1938 and the Bloomington Bloomers of the Illinois-Indiana-Iowa League in 1939. He then joined Milwaukee for the 1940 season, and became recognized as a top prospect by Major League Baseball teams. Bill Veeck, the owner of the Brewers, identified Peck as his favorite player.
The Brewers attempted to sell Peck to the Chicago White Sox in 1942. Peck lost two toes from his left foot that year due to a shooting accident, when attempting to shoot rats on his farm, which ended the White Sox attempt to purchase Peck. The Brooklyn Dodgers gave Peck a brief trial in 1943, but he missed the majority of the season recovering from his foot injury. The Chicago Cubs claimed Peck on waivers, and sold him to Milwaukee. Peck returned to the Brewers in the 1944 season, and demonstrated that he could still play by recording a .345 batting average with 18 stolen bases. The Philadelphia Athletics purchased Peck from the Brewers in August 1944. They sold Peck to the New York Yankees in 1946, but he did not appear in a game for them.

He'll Be Back
by: Jennifer LopezI know better than anybody how it feels to want somebody so bad after you break up
Still
(Looking for that phone call)
Still
(Even when they don't call)
Still ain't ready to walk away and call it all over
Act like you wasn't listening when they told ya
They don't wanna be with you anymore
Stuck in your ways, you choose to ignore
'Cause in your mind, you're still together
Thought it would last but there's no forever
Walked out on you with no call, no letter
When he realize it don't get no better
He'll be back
To make up for the lonely days
He'll be back
When things ain't working out his way
He'll be back
When he sees that it's not the same
He'll be back (he'll be back)
He'll be back (he'll be back)
He'll be back
He knows he's gonna need his lady
He'll be back
When his boys say he must be crazy
He'll be back
He'll know he made a big mistake
He'll be back (he'll be back)
He'll be back (he'll be back)
He'll be back
You don't want to believe it but you see it happening
Wakes you up out of your sleep, out of the dreams you're having
Still
(Looking for his return)
Still
(Hoping that he's gonna learn)
Wake up and realize the truth, make some time for you
What's he trying to do to you
Miss him more as days go by
Try your hardest not to cry and keep hope alive
'Cause in your mind, you're still together
Thought it would last but there's no forever
Walked out on you with no call, no letter
When he realize it don't get no better
He'll be back
