His grandfather, Pierre "Pete" Ethier, played professional minor league baseball, reaching as high as the AAA level.

[3] Ethier transferred to Chandler-Gilbert Community College after playing with Arizona State University in the fall of 2000.

The coaching staff at ASU told him that they thought he did not have Division I talent, and that he would do better to play junior college ball.

[1] On December 13, 2005, Ethier was traded by the Oakland Athletics to the Los Angeles Dodgers for Milton Bradley and Antonio Perez.

[4] Ethier hit a double and drew a walk in his Major League Baseball debut with the Los Angeles Dodgers on May 2, 2006, against the Arizona Diamondbacks in his home state of Arizona and hit his first home run the next night, against Dewon Brazelton of the San Diego Padres.

For this performance, Ethier won a Silver Slugger Award and finished sixth in National League MVP voting.

[14] On July 4, Ethier was selected to start on the National League All Star team, with more than 2.7 million votes.

[16] The streak eventually reached 30 games, second-most in Dodger franchise history, before it ended on May 7 against the New York Mets.

Ethier was a Final Vote candidate for the 2011 Major League Baseball All-Star Game, but finished second to Shane Victorino of the Philadelphia Phillies.

[18] Manager Don Mattingly said he was "blindsided" by the story, and responded that he would never make a player play hurt.

[19] After a meeting with Mattingly and GM Ned Colletti, Ethier backed off on his comments and said it was his choice to play hurt.

[20] After the September 7 game, Ethier decided to shut down for the season in order to consult doctors on the problems with his knee, with the hope of getting healthy in time for spring training.

[24] On September 4 against the San Diego Padres, Ethier collected his 1,000th career hit on a solo homer in the 2nd inning.

[8] After being a corner outfielder for his entire career, Ethier was moved to center field for the first time in the Majors in 2013 because of injuries to Matt Kemp.

Beginning September 13, Ethier wore a walking boot for a sore foot that caused him to miss several games at the end of the season and limited him in the playoffs.

[29] Ethier played only 130 games, the fewest in his career since his rookie season, hitting .249/.322/.370 with 4 home runs and 42 RBIs, mostly in pinch-hit scenarios.

[30] Due to early-season injuries to outfielders Puig and Carl Crawford, Ethier established himself as a near-everyday player in the first half of the season.

[8] During spring training, Ethier suffered a fractured right tibia after fouling a ball off his shin in a game.

[32] He only appeared in 16 games, primarily as a pinch hitter, down the stretch, with five hits in 24 at-bats including one home run, batting .208/.269/.375.

[36] After the season, the Dodgers declined their 2018 option on Ethier, making him a free agent for the first time in his career.

On October 17–18, 2014, Andre and his wife were honored as the first husband-wife inductees in the Arizona State Sports Hall of Fame.
