I don't have scans of my items, but my former neighbor was Wayne Terwilliger who was the first base coach of the Twins in the late '80's and early '90's through both World Series victories. Throughout the years "Twig" gave my brother and I tons of stuff from '91 World Series auto baseballs to champagne from the '91 series celebration to '91 stamped bat of all the players to gloves worn by former players. He even told me when he coached with the Rangers in the '70's I believe with Ted Williams and gave me one of his spring training jerseys. Twig was a player from 1950 - early '60's and his best memories were playing with the Dodgers in the 50's and showed me a picture of getting a high 5 from Jackie. He always had amazing stories and was the nicest guy in the world. He's still kicking down in Texas and in his upper 80's.

Pete,
That's a great story too. I remember Wayne Terwilliger from his playing days. Awesome stuff!

I'm originally from Orange County, Calif. (Tustin and Orange, CA).

One of my friends, Jason, lived in the city of Orange where two of his neighbors were Nolan Ryan and Rod Carew in the late 1970's. Being an avid youth baseball player, Jason used to sometimes play catch with Nolan Ryan and his son Reid in the back yard. Rod Carew used to talk to him about hitting.

Nolan gave Jason one of his Angels warm up jackets. Rod Carew gave Jason a bat and a couple of other pieces of equipment from his playing days with the Angels. I wish I grew up on his street!

This is a great thread. Wish I could add to it, but I only collect stuff from dead guys.
