Detroit Tigers' Dustin Peterson sticks it to Braves for cutting him

KISSIMMEE, Fla. – Dustin Peterson had been waiting for this one.

When the Detroit Tigers’ spring training schedule was revealed last fall, he marked it on his calendar. And when he saw his name in the starting lineup on Thursday morning against the Braves, he was ready to go.

“Oh yeah,” the left fielder said. “I’ve been anticipating this one. I was amped up and it felt good.”

How good? “Really good,” he said.
