With Los Angeles he was rated one of the best second basemen in the Coast League."

-1951 Bowman No. 175 (Bowman Gum Co., Inc.)
"Wayne had a truly impressive war record, having served with the Fightin' Marines at Saipan, Tinian and Iwo Jima. A terrific hustler, he's known as 'Twig.'
The Cubs brought Wayne up in 1949 after he had played 155 games for Los Angeles and hit .276. A regular in 1950, he hit only .242 but banged up 10 homers. In 1951 he was traded to the Dodgers.
During the off-season, Wayne attends Western Michigan University."
-1952 Topps No. 7
"Twig has been in pro ball since 1948 and came up to the majors after hitting .276 for Los Angeles in '49. In '50, as a Cub, he hit 10 home runs. '52 was spent at St. Paul. The Dodgers swapped Wayne to the Senators in September of '52. He'd been with the Cubs since '49 before coming to the Brooks in June of '51.
Wayne had an impressive war record, serving with the Marines at Saipan, Tinian and Iwo Jima."
-1953 Topps No. 159
"'Twig' joined the Senators in 1953 and promptly won himself a regular second base job. A former National Leaguer, he came up to the majors with the Chicago Cubs after hitting .276 for Los Angeles in 1949. In 1950, he batted .242 and in 1951 was traded to the Dodgers in an eight-man deal. Sent to St. Paul in '52, Wayne hit .312 in 77 games.
In '53, Twig hit a grand slam against the White Sox. In another game against the Sox he stole three bases. Later he jinxed the White Sox again ... when he broke up a ten-inning tie with a clean single."
-1954 Topps No. 73
"Twig played almost every infield position for the Nats last season. A top-notch fielder, he started in the Cubs' farm system at Des Moines in 1948 and the following year hit .276 for Los Angeles. Chicago brought him up late that season and in '50 he played the infield and outfield.
Twig was traded to the Dodgers in '51 and was sent to St. Paul where he batted .312 in '52."
-1955 Topps No. 34
"A versatile fielder, Wayne plays any infield position with ease. He started in the Cub farm system in 1948 and saw action with Chicago and Brooklyn from '49 to '51."
1955 Topps Doubleheader No. 132
"Wayne is a real hustling ball player. He made the fewest errors of any National League second baseman in 1955. Coming to New York in January of '55, he was a Giant sparkplug."
-1956 Topps No. 73
"A familiar face returns to the major league scene this season. Wayne has played in both leagues and has always shown that he is an expert infielder. He is also a good place hitter who can come up with a surprising number of clutch hits. He may be a big help in raising the A's standing."

-1960 Topps No. 26
"Terwilliger is another former Cub making good in the American League. He reported to the Chicago National Leaguers from Western Michigan College in 1948 and was sent to Des Moines in the Western League under the guidance of former Cub Stan Hack.
Terwilliger also saw major league service with Washington before going to the Athletics two years ago in the major league draft. He can play all infield positions and no doubt will prove invaluable to the Kansas City club for the coming season. Although not a long ball hitter, Terwilliger gets a good number of clutch hits."
