andrew john rincon -lrb- born march 5 , 1959 -rrb- is a former major league baseball pitcher born in monterey park , california on march 5 , 1959 .
he was drafted out of st. paul high school in santa fe springs california by the st. louis cardinals in the 5th round of the 1977 major league baseball draft .
he was a `` september call-up '' in 1980 , and he pitched pretty well .
he started four games , going 3 -- 1 with a 2.61 era .
this earned him another brief look the next year , when he had a similar 3 -- 1 record , this time with a 1.77 era in five starts .
that season , he was hit in the arm by a line drive from phil garner , thus hampering his career .
the cardinals still tried him out in the bullpen in 1982 , when he started six games and relieved in five games , finishing with a 2 -- 3 record and 4.72 era .
the next year , however , he did not make it to the major leagues at all , and the cardinals released him at the end of 1983 .
the san diego padres signed him that offseason , but he never pitched in the majors again .
