I have no idea how you grow up in Lost Nation, Iowa and become a MLB pitcher!
James Clement McAndrew (born January 11, 1944, in Lost Nation, Iowa) is a Major League Baseball pitcher from 1968 to 1974; he pitched for the New York Mets for his first six years, and the San Diego Padres in the last.
McAndrew started twelve games for the Mets in 1968; the Mets had a 4–8 record in those games, and his record was 4–7. He had a low 2.28 ERA in 1968.
He pitched in 161 games in his career, starting 110 of them. His W–L record was 37–53, with a 3.65 ERA; almost exactly the league average in those years. His nickname during his playing days was, "The Pride of Lost Nation, Iowa".
