Milt Woodard

Milt Woodard

Milt Woodard (c. 1911 – March 3, 1996) was an American sports writer and sport executive. He attended the College of Puget Sound (now the University of Puget Sound) in Washington, where he played baseball. He graduated in 1933.

Woodard had a distinguished career as a sportswriter for the Tacoma News Tribune and the Chicago Sun-Times. He also served as President of the American Football League from July 1966[1] until the NFL officially merged with it in March 1970.[2] At the urging of AFL fans and players, Woodard had a commemorative Ten-year AFL shoulder patch produced for the 1969 AFL Champion Kansas City Chiefs to wear when they played and defeated the NFL Champion Vikings in the fourth and final AFL-NFL World Championship Game after the 1969 pro football season.
