My dad, Ferrell "Andy" Anderson," spent 15 years in the minor leagues as a player, then manager, but WAS in the majors as a catcher for the 1946 Brooklyn Dodgers and 1953 St. Louis Cardinals. He used to joke that he was "only there for donuts and coffee." In other words, no, you wouldn't have heard of him. Still, I'm proud of him even though I was born after he retired. I never saw him swing a bat. Here are some pics of him! Thanks for asking!
