1957 Back-O'-The-Card: Andy Carey

"Andy combines his fielding talent and batting ability to rate as one of the top third sackers in the game. In 1955 he led his fellow American League [third basemen] in double plays with 37 and tied a mark by participating in four twin killings in a single game. His 11 triples in '55 tied him for the A.L. three-bagger title. In '56, he was the A.L. leader in putouts and assists."
