sports, Winfield chose baseball and compiled a first-ballot Hall of Fame career. Winfield
jumped straight from college to the major leagues, playing a combined 22 seasons with the
San Diego Padres, New York Yankees, California Angels, Toronto Blue Jays, Minnesota Twins,
and Cleveland Indians. He appeared in 12 All-Star Games, two World Series, and was the fi!h
player in the history of baseball to get 3,000 hits and 450 home runs. We look forward to
welcoming Winfield to the City of Bellflower as we pay tribute to our local community
heroes.
