Andre Rodgers was born on Sunday, December 2, 1934, in Nassau, Bahamas. Rodgers was 22 years old when he broke into the big leagues on April 16, 1957, with the New York Giants. His biographical data, year-by-year hitting stats, fielding stats, pitching stats (where applicable), career totals, uniform numbers, salary data and miscellaneous items-of-interest are presented by Baseball Almanac on this comprehensive Andre Rodgers baseball stats page.
"Aside from the national pride that this (Andre Rodger's being called up in 1957) generated not only among baseball fans, but Bahamians in general, what this meant to the Bahamas as a country could not be evaluated in dollars and cents. Every time Andre Rodgers stepped on a field in baseball stadiums across the United States and his name and where he was from was announced, that represented thousands and thousands of dollars in free publicity for the Bahamas." - Sportswriter Oswald T. Brown in The Nassau Guardian (11/21/2003)

Did you know that Kenneth Andre Ian Rodgers was born on December 2, 1934, in Nassau, the capital of the Bahamas, the eldest of seven children born to Arnold Percival Rodgers and Carmencita Theresa Baillou, and when Andre appeared in his first big league game, on April 16, 1957, he became the first major leaguer from the Bahamas?
