Woods, Robert M.

Biography"Doctor Woods (Internal Medicine 1938-41) is not only one of the Dodgers’ most loyal rooters, he’s their team physician. As such, he devotes 81 days each year (Dodger ‘home dates’) at Dodger Stadium counseling, treating, examining Dodger and visiting team players, coaches and umpires; he is administratively responsible for total planning and directing the Dodger organization medical program; he provides year-around primary medical care to Dodger management, employees and players’ families; when everyone’s healthy, he even helps out in the press box by doing such things as operating the stadium scoreboard. All this represents a part-time career for Bob Woods, an ebullient 61-year-old with more energy than a 19-year-old Dodger rookie. “Doc” Woods, as National League players fondly call him, is the senior team physician in the league, joining the Dodgers 15 years ago."--https://alumniassociation.mayo.edu/doctor-for-the-dodgers/
