Wood vs. Wood #296

Last time was a 6-3 win for 1987. Will it's roll continue here?

Up close and personal with Ken Hamlin, listed as a Senator but still in his Angels jersey. Hamlin was a good fielding, OK-hitting infielder who had stints in the majors with the Pirates, A's, Angels and Senators between 1957 and 1966. Overall in 468 games he hit .241 with 11 HR and 89 RBI. After his playing career he was a high school coach and ran a sports camp in Michigan for many years. He is now retired.

Andres Thomas busts out of the box in a spring training game at West Palm Beach. Thomas was similar to Hamlin, but with more power and more errors. In 1988 he hit 13 HR but led the NL in errors and had 14 walks compared to 95 strikeouts. A notorious free swinger, that was Thomas's career high in walks for a seasons, though he had five seasons of 290+ plate appearances. Overall in 577 games he hit .234 with 42 HR and 228 RBI. After his playing career he was a minor league coach, but he appears to now be retired.
