Rob Andrews

Robert Patrick Andrews (born December 11, 1952) is an American former professional baseball player. He played in Major League Baseball as a second baseman from 1975 until 1979 for the Houston Astros and San Francisco Giants. He is the younger brother of Mike Andrews.

After spending one year at El Camino Junior College, where he did not play any sports, Andrews was drafted by the Baltimore Orioles in the 1970 amateur draft, but would never play for the team. He was traded along with Enos Cabell from the Orioles to the Astros for Lee May and Jay Schlueter at the Winter Meetings on December 3, 1974. Even though he batted over .300 in each of the previous two seasons in the minors, Andrews was expendable because Bobby Grich was well established as the Orioles' starting second baseman. He was released by the Giants after the 1979 season, making his final major league appearance in a pinch hit at bat on September 26, 1979, against Lerrin LaGrow of the Los Angeles Dodgers.
