NOT REALLY MISSING IN ACTION- 1977 FRED ANDREWS

Here’s a 1977 card for Fred Andrews of the Philadelphia Phillies, for whom I also produced a 1978 card a while back, thus representing the entirety of his two-year Major League career:


Andrews appeared in the first four games of his brief MLB career in 1976, going an impressive 4-for-6 while playing second base.
The following season he’d get a bit more action, appearing in 12 games while batting .174, which would be the final games of his career before spending the next few years in the Minor & Mexican Leagues.
Though he only played in bits of two seasons on the Big League level, he did play 10 years of pro ball, spanning 1970 and 1979 before retiring for good.

NOT REALLY MISSING IN ACTION- 1978 FRED ANDREWS

Here’s another “not so missing” card of a player that played the last of his Major League games by the time this card would have come out, former second baseman for the Philadelphia Phillies Fred Andrews:


Andrews appeared in 12 games for Philadelphia in 1977, batting .174 with four hits over 23 at-bats, with a triple and two runs batted in thrown in.
This would be after his first four games as a big league player in 1976 when he went 4-for-6 in a cup-of-coffee at the age of 24.
His totals in the Majors would end up being eight hits in 29 at-bats in 16 lifetime games, with a .276 batting average and four runs scored.
