"Although Andy saw limited action as a utility man in 1953, he had the highest batting mark (.321) on the Yankees and led the team in slugging (.531).
He came from the St. Mary's College campus to Kansas City in 1951 to hit .288. Andy hit .284 the next year and the Yanks gave him a brief trial in mid-season. He returned in '53 to make the grade.
Last season Andy proved to be a top Yankee and was the biggest eater on the club- a leader at the PLATE both on and off the diamond."
