Larry Andersen Autographed 1991 Upper Deck #793 San Diego Padres Card

Featuring Larry Andersen with the San Diego Padres, this Larry Andersen autographed 1991 Upper Deck #793 San Diego Padres card captures the veteran relief pitcher during a brief stop in San Diego near the midpoint of his lengthy Major League career. Andersen became one of baseball's dependable bullpen arms, ultimately pitching across three different decades.

Andersen originally reached the Major Leagues with the Cleveland Indians in 1975 at just 22 years old. After also pitching for Seattle, he found considerable success with the Philadelphia Phillies, developing into an effective right-handed reliever during the 1980s.

In 1990, Andersen was enjoying an outstanding season with Philadelphia, posting a 1.54 ERA in 50 relief appearances before being traded to the Boston Red Sox in late August. That transaction became one of baseball's most famous trades, as the Phillies received minor-league first baseman Jeff Bagwell, who went on to a Hall of Fame career with Houston.

Andersen signed with the San Diego Padres for the 1991 season, appearing in 38 games before being traded back to Philadelphia during the year. He later pitched for Houston before returning to the Phillies for a final stint, contributing to Philadelphia's 1993 National League championship club.

Andersen pitched parts of 17 Major League seasons, making 699 appearances with the Indians, Mariners, Phillies, Astros, Red Sox and Padres. The 1991 Upper Deck #793 is an appealing San Diego issue for Padres collectors, Larry Andersen fans, Phillies collectors, 1990s Upper Deck collectors or collectors assembling comprehensive autographed player runs.
