Manager: Harry Craft. Teammates included future Yankees Roger Maris, Bob Cerv, Whitey Herzog

Highlight: A great hitting streak that took his season average over .300

Manager: Bob Elliott. Teammates included Don Larsen, Hank Bauer, Marv Throneberry

Twig pulled a back muscle, and when he told the team trainer about it he heard his manager complaining about "candy-ass ballplayers." Soon after, he was sold to the Yankees and sent to their AAA Richmond team.
