Ival Richard Goodman (July 23, 1908 – November 25, 1984) was an American All-Star right fielder in Major League Baseball who played for the Cincinnati Reds (1935–1942) and Chicago Cubs (1943–1944).
Goodman, who batted left-handed and threw right-handed, helped lead the Reds to a National League pennant in 1939 and a World Series title in 1940, and he was elected to the Cincinnati Reds Hall of Fame in 1959.
The Cincinnati Reds purchased Goodman from the St. Louis Cardinals on November 3, 1934, for $25,000.
He also hit .333 in the World Series that year, but the Reds lost to the New York Yankees in an eventual four-game sweep.
In the 1939 and 1940 World Series, Goodman posted a .295 batting average (13-for-44) with 8 runs scored and 6 RBI.
