Woodling was appointed on November 20, 1963, as the Orioles' first base coach by former Yankees teammate Hank Bauer, who had become the team's manager one day earlier. He remained in that capacity through the 1966 World Series Championship season and up until the announcement on September 28, 1967, that he would not be retained for the 1968 season. He was also a scout for the Yankees and the Indians. Woodling died at the age of 78 in a nursing home in Wadsworth, Ohio on June 2, 2001.
