A solid second baseman and an excellent bunter, Wilfong was one of manager Gene Mauch’s favorite players. Wilfong played for Mauch in both Minnesota and with the California Angels. For some reason, he crushed Detroit pitcher Dave Rozema, batting .556 (10-for-18) with a home run against the right-hander.
