Alan Wiggins was a second baseman and outfielder for the San Diego Padres and Baltimore Orioles between 1981 and 1987.

He batted one slot in the lineup ahead of Tony Gwynn that year, and the pair's offensive production helped the Padres win the National League Championship Series (NLCS) and advance to the World Series.
