Wayne Terwilliger, the infectious baseball lifer who broke into the big leagues in 1949 and spent the rest of his life around the game, died on Wednesday at age 95.
The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported that Terwilliger had dealt with dementia and bladder cancer before a brief stay in hospice care in Weatherford, Texas.
Terwilliger first joined the Twins working for manager Ray Miller in 1986 and stayed on when Tom Kelly took over later that season. He was known through his career in baseball as Twig.
He would work as first base coach from 1986 to 1994, helping the club win two World Series titles. Afterward, St. Paul Saints owner Mike Veeck tabbed him to be the independent minor league team s first base coach. He would stay with the Saints until 2002.

The star player for Milwaukee back then was Hank Aaron.
The memories of those good old days came to mind after hearing of Aaronâs passing on Jan. 22. Many of us recalled the days when we watched Hank play for the Braves in Milwaukee on black and white TV.
