1969 Topps #52 Mike Andrews
About Mike Andrews
By 1969 Andrews' Topps card, #52, was a plain first-series issue for the Red Sox. That year Andrews had his best offensive season, hitting .293 with a career-high 15 home runs and 59 RBIs over 121 games while playing second base almost every day for Boston, scoring 79 runs, and he earned his only All-Star selection.
Mike Andrews was a second baseman who spent most of his eight big-league seasons with the Boston Red Sox before finishing his career with the Chicago White Sox and Oakland Athletics. Born in Los Angeles and raised in Torrance, California, he turned down a football scholarship path to sign with Boston, then worked his way up through the farm system as a shortstop before shifting to second base, where he became a steady everyday player. He made one All-Star team and played in the 1967 and 1973 World Series, winning a title with Oakland in 1973 despite being at the center of a widely publicized benching controversy after two costly errors in that Series. After retiring as a player, Andrews spent decades as a fundraiser for the Jimmy Fund, the Boston-based cancer charity affiliated with Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, eventually serving as its chairman.
