June 2, 2010 – The Society for American Baseball Research is a great organization and one of the wonderful projects they have going on is the Baseball Biography Project. One of the biographies they have completed is about former Twins utility player Jerry Wayne Terrell. Jerry was born on July 13, 1946 in Waseca, Minnesota and played for the Twins between 1974 and 1977 before he was granted free agency and signed with the Kansas City Royals where he played from 1978 through 1980 before retiring from baseball. In April of 1980 the membership of the Major League Baseball Players Association voted 582-1 in favor of a strike. Jerry Terrell has long been assumed to be the only dissenting vote but to date he has never stated that this was true or false. Take a few minutes and read the bio about Jerry Terrell here.
TWINS TRIVIA is hopefully a fun and informative site that will help you to better enjoy the Minnesota Twins and their wonderful history. “History never looks like history when you are living through it” – John Gardner, former Secretary of Health
