Andy Hansen
Andrew Viggo Hansen, Jr. (November 12, 1924 – February 2, 2002), nicknamed "Swede", was a right-handed pitcher in Major League Baseball. In a nine-season career, he played for the New York Giants and the Philadelphia Phillies. Hansen was officially listed as standing and weighing .〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Andy Hansen Stats, Bio, Photos, Highlights )〕 He was nicknamed ''Swede'' despite being of Danish ancestry, according to The Sporting News' ''Baseball Register.''〔Spink, J.G. Taylor, and Rickert, Paul, ''The 1949 Official Baseball Register.'' St. Louis: The Sporting News, 1949, p. 187〕
A two-sport star in high school, Hansen rose quickly through the Giants' minor league system and made his major league debut at age 19. He played for the Giants until 1946, when he voluntarily retired due to a family illness and then served in the United States Army. He returned to baseball in 1947 and earned a career-best five wins in 1948. After a contract holdout in 1949, Hansen's bullpen workload increased in 1950, leading to an elbow injury and the Giants sending him to the Phillies in the Rule 5 draft.
As a Phillie, Hansen assumed the closer's role at times from 1950 National League Most Valuable Player Jim Konstanty, and worked nearly exclusively from the bullpen after being an occasional starting pitcher with New York. After tying his career high with five victories in 1952, Hansen went winless in 1953 and had a short tenure with the minor-league Hollywood Stars before retiring and beginning a 31-year career with the United States Postal Service.
==Early life==
Hansen was born November 12, 1924, in Lake Worth, Florida.〔 As a young player, he was a second baseman and third baseman before moving to pitcher.〔Singletary, p. 83〕 He attended Lake Worth High School, where he played offensive end on the football team and pitched for the baseball team. In 1942, Hansen was a member of Lake Worth's "Trojans" football team that went undefeated, and the school's baseball team went to the state tournament in the 1943 season with Hansen as a member of the pitching staff. After graduating that year, Hansen spurned football scholarship offers from "a number of schools, including Georgia Tech"〔 to sign an amateur free agent contract worth $75 ($ today) per month with the National League's New York Giants.〔
