1972 Topps #634 Dick Woodson
About Dick Woodson
Woodson made 36 starts in 1972 and went 14-14 with a 2.72 ERA. He threw 251 2/3 innings and struck out 150. Nine of his starts went the distance, three of them shutouts. Topps put him on #634 in the fifth series, with the Twins.
Dick Woodson was a 6-foot-5 right-hander who pitched for the Minnesota Twins in 1969, 1970 and 1972 through 1974, and for the New York Yankees in 1974. The Twins signed him as an amateur free agent before the 1965 season and he made the club out of spring training in 1969. He debuted on April 8 that year, relieving Joe Grzenda in the 12th inning at Kansas City and allowing one hit in a 4-3 loss. He pitched in the American League Championship Series in both 1969 and 1970, each a three-game sweep by Baltimore. In February 1974 he became the first player to use the new free agency clause, asking $30,000 against the Twins' $23,000, and the arbitrator sided with him. Minnesota traded him to the Yankees on May 4, 1974 for Mike Pazik, and he pitched his last major league game on July 8. He finished 34-32 with a 3.47 ERA in 137 games.
