Robert Chandler Greenwood (March 13, 1928 – September 1, 1994), nicknamed "Greenie", was a Mexican professional baseball player.
The native of Cananea, Sonora, was a right-handed pitcher who was listed as 6 feet 5 inches (1.96 m) tall and 200 pounds (91 kg).
He attended Oakland Technical High School and Saint Mary's College of California. Greenwood's professional baseball career lasted for 11 seasons (1949–1956; 1958–1960) and included 12 games pitched for the Philadelphia Phillies of Major League Baseball during the 1954 and 1955 seasons.
He posted a 1–2 won–lost record and a 3.92 earned run average in 39 MLB innings pitched, allowing 35 hits and 18 bases on balls, with nine strikeouts.
Of his 12 appearances, four were as a starting pitcher.
He recorded no complete games or saves.
In his lone major league victory, on July 31, 1954, at Connie Mack Stadium, Greenwood went eight innings and allowed only five hits and two earned runs against the St.
Louis Cardinals, but exited the game for pinch hitter Stan Lopata in the bottom of the eighth with the Phils trailing, 5–4.
Lopata then hit a two-run home run to put Philadelphia ahead, 6–5, and relief pitcher Murry Dickson held the Cardinals scoreless in the ninth to save Greenwood's victory.
