Biography

A native of Lafayette, Louisiana, Andrews attended high school in Lincoln Heights, Ohio and was selected by the Philadelphia Phillies in the 8th round of the 1970 MLB Draft.

Andrews made his major league debut with Philadelphia in 1976, playing in four games for the club that season and 12 games in 1977. In two major league seasons, Andrews batted .276 (8-for-29) with 4 runs and 2 RBI in 16 games. Defensively, he handled 44 total chances (23 putouts, 21 assists) at second base without an error for a 1.000 fielding percentage.
