About Andy Hassler
Hassler opened 1976 by losing his first six decisions with the Angels, and Kansas City bought his contract on July 5. With the Royals, then 48-30 and in first place, he pitched to a 2.89 ERA over 19 games and started Game Three of the ALCS against the Yankees. His full-year line was 5-12, 3.61. Card #207 shows him in Angels colors.
Andy Hassler was a 6-foot-5 left-hander who pitched 14 big-league seasons, 1971 to 1985, going 44-71 with a 3.83 ERA and 29 saves. The California Angels drafted him in the 25th round in 1969 out of Palo Verde High School in Tucson, and he debuted at 19 on May 30, 1971, at Yankee Stadium. He spent his early years as a hard-luck starter, lost his first eight decisions and posted a 2.61 ERA for the 1974 Angels, then dropped a club-record 11 straight decisions in 1975. In Kansas City he pitched in the 1976 and 1977 ALCS against the Yankees. Later stops were Boston, the New York Mets, Pittsburgh and a return to the Angels, and he finished with St. Louis in 1985. As a reliever he saved 10 games in 1980, split between Pittsburgh and California, and pitched in the 1982 ALCS. He played for six clubs without ever being traded. Hassler died in Wickenburg, Arizona, on December 25, 2019.
