Hello everybody-

I'm new to SABR, and I'm wrapping up a book about
former Astros,
Cardinals &
A's right-hander JOAQUIN ANDUJAR.

Hundreds of hours of microfilm research and interviews
make me
confident
that I have the funny quotes, unpredictable
switch-hitting and boxscore
details covered, but I'm sure that many of you can
teach me things
about his
career that I wouldn't even have thought of.

>If you have eyewitness memories of his
career, "brush with
greatness" encounters at the ballpark or hotel, or
anecdotes that
haven't
grown stale, I'd love to hear from you.

>Photographs from any stage of his career
would also be very
helpful.

>If you're an expert about any of the teams he
played for,
relevant
details about those clubs would also be great.

>Anything that you think is an important part
of the story,
please
put your two cents in.

His professional career got started a few months
before I was born, so
if
you can shed light on his minor league days and/or
winter ball
exploits, I'd
be especially appreciative.

Thank you all for your time,

Malcolm Allen
