#311 Scott Sanderson



Why this card is awesome: Because other than a touch of black, the is the most red, white, and blue card I've ever seen. OK, there's a touch of orange too, in the upper left.

Cool stat: Since 1978, for pitchers with at least 2500 IP, Sanderson is 8th in fewest walks per 9 innings. He still ended up with a very average ERA, and one wonders what his record would have been like if he had a closer-to-average walk rate.

  1. Ah, this maybe the first of the Sandberg, Sundberg, Sanderson trio.

  2. Nope, Ryno was the 3rd regular card in this set all the way back at #10.
