Andrew Bailey pitched for the Oakland Athletics for his first three seasons before moving through Boston, the Yankees, the Angels and Philadelphia, retiring in 2017.
He saved 95 games and struck out 276 batters across 274 innings, all in relief, with a 3.12 earned run average and a 16-14 record over 265 appearances.
He was chosen for All-Star teams in 2009 and 2010, recognition of his early years as Oakland's closer, before injuries and trades scattered the rest of his career across four more clubs.
He was born in Voorhees, New Jersey, on May 31, 1984, and batted and threw right-handed, closing out games almost exclusively in relief for his entire nine-season career.
