Woodie Fryman

Woodrow Thompson Fryman (April 12, 1940 – February 4, 2011) was a right-handed pitcher from Ewing, Kentucky who spent 18 seasons in Major League Baseball from 1966 to 1983, pitching for six teams. He did not attend high school or college, instead working on his family's 520-acre farm before signing with the Pittsburgh Pirates at age 25 in 1965. A two-time National League All-Star, Fryman contributed to two postseason runs: the Detroit Tigers' 1972 American League Championship Series appearance and the Montreal Expos' 1981 National League Championship Series appearance.
