| 1 | Chairman of the Jimmy Fund charity in Boston, Massachusetts, a position he has held since 1979. The Jimmy Fund does research and treatment of cancer in children. [2004] |
| 2 | Was involved in one of the most famous incidents in World Series history. After Game 2 of the 1973 Fall classic, Oakland A's owner Charles O. Finley attempted to "fire" second-baseman Andrews after his two errors in the 12th inning allowed the New York Mets to win the game, 10-7. At four hours and 13 minutes, it was the longest game ever played in the World Series. The next day, Finley announced he was deactivating Andrews due to a shoulder injury he browbeat Andrews into declaring. Finley tried to place Andrews on the disabled list. Baseball Commissioner Bowie Kuhn intervened and ordered Finley to reinstate Andrews, and also fined the A's owner. The A's eventually won the World Series in seven games. The aftermath of the incident was that, despite winning his second consecutive World Series as skipper of the A's, manager Dick Williams, fed up with Finley's constant meddling, announced his resignation minutes after the deciding seventh game. Andrews retired from baseball after the season. |
