1969 Topps #139 Andy Kosco
About Andy Kosco
Traded to the Dodgers for pitcher Mike Kekich after the 1968 season, Kosco found Los Angeles's ballpark more to his liking than cavernous Yankee Stadium; in 1969 he played 109 games in the outfield, batting .248 while setting career highs with 19 home runs and 74 RBI. His 1969 Topps #139 card, from the set's second print series, shows him with the Dodgers.
Andy Kosco was an outfielder and first baseman out of Youngstown, Ohio, signed by Detroit in 1959 for a $62,500 bonus after a huge senior season at Struthers High School. Released by the Tigers in 1964, he caught on with the Minnesota Twins, tore up Triple-A Denver, and debuted in the majors in August 1965 during Minnesota's pennant run. Over a ten-year career he played for the Twins, Yankees, Dodgers, Brewers, Angels, Red Sox and Reds, his best power seasons coming with New York in 1968 and Los Angeles in 1969. He reached the postseason once, with the 1973 Reds in the NLCS. After retiring he finished a bachelor's degree at Youngstown State and went into the insurance business with his sons.
