Rating: Ages 13+

Andre Rodgers grew up playing cricket in the British colony of the Bahamas and had never even seen a game of baseball before he went to tryout for the San Francisco Giants minor league farm system in 1954. He was signed immediately and became a minor league superstar before playing eleven seasons in the major leagues with the Giants, the Cubs and the Pirates.
