Description
Robert Patrick Andrews is a retired professional baseball player. He played five seasons in Major League Baseball, from 1975 until 1979, for the Houston Astros and San Francisco Giants, primarily as a second baseman.
Andrews was drafted by the Baltimore Orioles in the 1970 amateur draft, but would never play for the team. In the 1974 off-season he was traded to the Houston Astros for Lee May and Jay Schlueter. Andrews made his major league debut on April 7, 1975, recording two hits in a 6-2 Astros' win over the Atlanta Braves. That season, he had the distinction of recording at least one base hit in each of his first five major league games.
Andrews hit his first major league home run in the ninth inning of a nationally-televised game on Monday night, July 17, 1978, off Buddy Schultz of the St. Louis Cardinals. The home run turned out to be the difference in a 9-7 Giants win.
After two seasons in Houston, Andrews was traded to the San Francisco Giants for Willie Crawford and Rob Sperring prior to the 1977 season.
