"My next biggest thrill (to being signed) was doing well enough that Billy Martin had extreme faith in me and over Calvin Griffiths objections, took me to the big leagues. I will forever be beholding to Billy for having that kind of faith and even though Calvin Griffith was so against it and he still took me and that was Billy’s way and giving me that chance to get into the big leagues." - Dick Woodson (Dick Woodson Interview, www.twinstrivia.com, John Swol, 2008)
