1962 Topps #418 Andy Carey
About Andy Carey
Chicago had shipped Carey to Philadelphia that December, but he refused to report, and on March 24, 1962 the White Sox instead sent him to Los Angeles for Ramon Conde and Jim Koranda. He played part-time at third in the Dodgers' brand-new ballpark, hitting .234 in 53 games for a club that won 102 and lost the tie-breaker series to San Francisco; Los Angeles released him that October. Card #418 sits in the fifth series.
Andy Carey, born Andrew Arthur Hexem in Oakland, California, and raised in Alameda, played third base in the majors for eleven seasons. His mother remarried a divorce lawyer named Kenneth Carey, and the boy took his stepfather's surname. Out of Alameda High and Saint Mary's College of California, he signed with the Yankees for a $60,000 bonus after scout Joe Devine watched him in semipro ball at Weiser, Idaho. Carey debuted for New York in May 1952 and had the third-base job by 1954, batting .302 with 65 RBIs in 122 games, then led the American League with 11 triples in 1955. He was part of two World Series championship clubs, in 1956 and 1958, and two plays of his, in the second and eighth innings, helped preserve Don Larsen's perfect game in the 1956 Series against Brooklyn. With Clete Boyer emerging at third base, New York traded him to the Kansas City Athletics for Bob Cerv on May 19, 1960, and he finished out with the Athletics, Chicago White Sox and Los Angeles Dodgers. In 938 games he batted .260 with 741 hits, 64 home runs and 350 RBIs. He worked as a stockbroker, and died on December 15, 2011, at 80.

Slabs of the three cards printed #139 are joined by description, never by number alone. PSA registers the green tints as a separate set; a tint's population is listed under that state of the card it belongs to.
