Frederick Hotham Andrus (August 23, 1850 – November 10, 1937) was an American outfielder and pitcher in Major League Baseball for the Chicago White Stockings. In 1876 he played 8 games in the outfield, batting .306 in 36 at bats. In 1884, he played one game, pitching a complete game win on July 4 against the Philadelphia Quakers, allowing two earned runs.[1][2]
He previously played for a club in Jackson, Michigan, called the Mutuals in 1875, while working for a newspaper.[3] After playing for the White Stocking in 1876, he played for a Milwaukee team in 1877, and stayed there to work as a clerk in a book store.[3] He moved to Chicago in 1884 to be the treasurer for Albert Spalding's sporting goods company, a position he held for eight years.[3] He joined David Whitney Jr.'s real estate company in Detroit, later managing his estate until his death of pneumonia at the age of 87.[3] He was initially interred at Woodlawn Cemetery in Detroit, but was later re-interred at Oak Woods Cemetery in Chicago.[2]
