Biography
Willard Wayne "Twig" Terwilliger (born June
27, 1925 in Clare, Michigan) is a former second baseman in Major League
Baseball.
In 1948, after attending Western Michigan University, Terwilliger signed with
the Chicago Cubs. He would go on to have a successful career from 1948 to 1960.
Terwilliger played for the Cubs (1948-1951), Brooklyn Dodgers (1951), Washington
Senators (1953-1954), New York Giants (1955-1956) and Kansas City Athletics
(1959-1960).
After his playing days were over, Terwilliger became a successful coach and
minor-league manager. Under manager Ted Williams, Terwilliger was the third-base
coach of the Washington Senators from 1969 to 1971 and of the Texas Rangers in
their first season, 1972. He returned to coach the Rangers from 1981 through
1985. He was the first-base coach of the Minnesota Twins when they won the World
Series in 1987 and 1991. He later coached the St. Paul Saints.
Terwilliger managed 12 minor-league teams and compiled a record of 1,224 wins
and 1,089 losses. Under his management, the Fort Worth Cats won the 2005 Central
Baseball League championship. After retiring from team management at the end of
the 2005 season, he is now the Cats' first-base coach in the new American
Association.
He wrote an autobiography, Terwilliger Bunts One.
