Wayne Redmond

Biography

Howard Wayne Redmond (November 25, 1945 – August 8, 2020) was an American professional baseball player. He played 933 games of minor league baseball during his nine-season (1965–1973) career, and had brief trials with the 1965 and 1969 Detroit Tigers of the Major Leagues. In nine MLB games played as an outfielder, pinch hitter and pinch runner, Redmond drew one base on balls in eight plate appearances with no hits. He scored one run. Redmond threw and batted right-handed, stood 5 feet 10 inches (1.78 m) tall and weighed 165 pounds (75 kg). He was signed by the Tigers after graduating from Detroit's Central High School and hit 31 home runs in his first minor league season, split between Detroit farm clubs at the Class A and Double-A levels. That led to his first late-season trial in 1965.
