1955 Back-O'-The-Card: Andy Carey

"Last season was Andy's first as a full-time Yankee infielder and he proved he was in the starting lineup to stay. He posted a solid slugging average, reflecting his clutch hitting, and placed second in the American League in double plays.
After spending two seasons in the minors, Andy had a brief trial with New York in 1952. He was recalled in 1953 from Syracuse and hit .321 in 51 games with the Yankees."
