He batted and threw right-handed, stood 6 feet 3 inches (1.91 m) tall and weighed 200 pounds (91 kg) (14 stone, 4).

Rodgers was a part of the Giants roster until October 1960 when he was traded to the Milwaukee Braves for Alvin Dark, who ultimately became the San Francisco manager at the time.

In that season, Rodgers, second baseman Ken Hubbs and Banks set a league record for double plays.

But even more important than the success he accomplished in his career was the fact that he opened the door for countrymen to follow, such as Ed Armbrister, Tony Curry, Wenty Ford, and Wil Culmer.

Andre Rodgers National Baseball Stadium, which opened at Nassau's Queen Elizabeth Sports Centre in 2022, is named in his honor.
