I have three cards of Andrew Bailey. This one is from 2011 Topps Heritage.
Playing career: Andrew Bailey was the AL Rookie of the Year
in 2009, saving 26 games for Oakland. His save totals decreased by one each
year – 25 in 2010 and 24 in 2011.
Where he is now: Traded to Boston before the 2012 season, he
has spent the entire season the disabled list.
My memories: I hadn’t even heard of him when he won the
Rookie of the Year award. A closer for a mediocre team wasn’t interesting
enough to catch my attention in a weak year for rookies in the American League.
Google Autocomplete results: He is first when you type
Andrew Ba, ahead of Andrew Bagby, a murder victim whose friend made a movie
about him. Another prominent Andrew Bailey is the Director of the Banks &
Building Societies Division of the FSA (the UK version of the SEC).
Coming up next: The next profile will be Bob Bailey.
