Andrew Lee Cannizaro (born December 17, 1978, in New Orleans, Louisiana) is a major league baseball infielder for the New York Yankees.
Cannizaro was drafted by the Yankees in the seventh round of the 2001 Amateur Draft after two seasons at Tulane University.
He was called up by the Yankees on September 4, 2006, as a September call-up after spending five seasons in the Yankee farm system with the Staten Island Yankees, Tampa Yankees, Trenton Thunder, and Columbus Clippers.
Cannizaro played in his first major league game on September 5, 2006, playing at shortstop for two innings, without an at-bat, against the Kansas City Royals. Cannizaro singled during the first at-bat of his career on September 8, 2006, against Brian Burres of the Baltimore Orioles, and later scored. He hit his first major league home run on September 25, 2006, off of Jon Switzer in a blowout win against the Tampa Bay Devil Rays.
