1965 Topps #487 Woody Woodward
About Woody Woodward
Woodward opened 1965 in the minors with the Atlanta Crackers before a Menke knee injury brought him back to Milwaukee in May, where he played 112 games and batted .208, seeing most of his time at shortstop. His 1965 Topps card, number 487, from the sixth print series, reflects his return as a regular contributor for the Braves that season.
William Frederick Woodward, known as Woody, was a slick-fielding infielder from Miami who signed with the Milwaukee Braves out of Florida State University after a standout amateur career, including third-team All-American honors. He spent nine major league seasons, 1963 to 1971, as a shortstop and second baseman for the Milwaukee/Atlanta Braves and Cincinnati Reds, valued more for his glove than his bat. His finest offensive year came in 1966 with Atlanta, when he posted career highs across the board. Traded to Cincinnati in 1968, he became a steady utility piece for the Big Red Machine, appearing in the 1970 National League Championship Series and World Series against Baltimore. He hit only one home run in 2,423 career plate appearances. He retired after the 1971 season and later built a long front-office career, including stints as general manager of the New York Yankees, Philadelphia Phillies, and Seattle Mariners.
