COMING SOON!...

Coming soon in the near future to Baseball Todd's Dugout:

Feature stories on former major league stars Ralph Terry, Wayne Terwilliger, and Pete Incaviglia!

Ralph Terry was one of the greatest pitchers in the history of the New York Yankees. He also played for the Cleveland Indians, Kansas City A's, and New York Mets in a very distinguished 12-year major league career on the mound. He allowed the home run to Bill Mazeroski in the 1960 World Series which allowed the Pittsburgh Pirates to beat the heavily-favored Yanks in seven games. But, he also had a great year in 1962 by going 23-12 and leading the American League in wins and innings with 298.2. He also redeemed himself by winning World Series MVP honors in '62 when New York beat the San Francisco Giants in seven games. He was on the mound when Willie McCovey lined out to second baseman Bobby Richardson to end the Series. Mr. Terry is a very cordial fellow (and a fellow native Oklahoman like yours truly) and I had a great interview with him. It should be a great story!!

Wayne Terwilliger played nine years in the major leagues for five teams - the Chicago Cubs, Brooklyn Dodgers, Washington Senators, New York Giants, and Kansas City Athletics. He also coached for the Senators, Texas Rangers, and Minnesota Twins. In 1991, he earned a World Series ring with the Twins. He is currently the first base coach for the independent Fort Worth Cats of the American Association. In 2005, he led them to a league title and became the oldest pro manager to win a title at 80 years young. This lifelong baseball man is one of the nicest gentlemen you will ever meet in the game. I look forward to bringing you my story about him in the near future!!

Pete Incaviglia played 12 years in the majors for six clubs - the Texas Rangers, Houston Astros, Philadelphia Phillies, Detroit Tigers, New York Yankees and Baltimore Orioles. He holds the record for the most major league homers hit by a player with a name ending in "I" with a lofty sum of 206! He never played an inning of minor league ball prior to his debut with the Rangers in 1986, when he hit .250 with 30 homers and 88 RBI, thus becoming one of only 16 players at the time to hit 30 or more homers during their rookie MLB season. At Oklahoma State University in 1985, he established NCAA record with 48 home runs, 143 RBI, 285 total bases, and a 1.140 slugging percentage in just 78 games. He is the manager of the Grand Prairie (Texas) Air Hogs of the independent American Association minor league system. "Inky" is a great guy and I enjoyed listening to him speak at the local SABR chapter meeting on Dec. 17, 2007. So, this should be a great read!

...SO STAY TUNED!
