A utility infielder for the Twins throughout much of the 1960s, Quilici became a Twins coach in 1971, and was named manager on July 6, 1972, following the f1ring of Bill Rigney. The highlight of his playing career was the 1965 World Series in which he had two hits in one inning off Dodger starter Don Drysdale.
