Wayne Amyotte, also known as “Bullhead”, played with the Brockville Bunnies in 1966 when they won the Eastern Ontario Connie Mack League Championship. They were North Atlantic semi-finalists in Albany, NY. Wayne signed with Lachine, Quebec, in a Senior League where he struck out 8 of 9 batters as a Relief Pitcher.

His second year was with the Lakeland Tigers of the Florida State League and the following year with the Rocky Mountain Leafs of the Carolina League.

It was in his 4th year that he injured his pitching arm and was released. His arm muscles never healed properly, so his playing career was over. Wayne would run pitching clinics. Helped coach and scout players from 2003 for the San Diego Padres of the National League.
