Career highlights and awards

John Frederick Anderson (December 11, 1885 – November 8, 1957) was an American baseball player. He played for Davidson College in 1906, but later transferred to the Maryland Agricultural College (later the University of Maryland), where he played from 1907 to 1909. Then, the 6 ft 2 in (1.88 m), 180 pound pitcher moved to play for the Boston Red Sox. Anderson played in Boston in 1909 but did not play major league baseball again for the Red Sox again until due to his practicing dentistry.[1] In 1914 he jumped to the Federal League to play for Buffalo for the 1914 and 1915 seasons. In 1916 he was sold to the New York Giants and Anderson played with them for three seasons. Anderson committed suicide on November 8, 1957, in his Winston-Salem, North Carolina home.[2]
