John Frederick Anderson, born December 11, 1885, Calahaln, North Carolina, made his first steps into baseball with the Davidson College Wildcats, in 1906. He then later switched colleges to the Maryland Agricultural College (later the University of Maryland), where he played from 1907-1909. Then, the 6'2", 180 pound pitcher moved to play for the Boston Red Sox. He played in Boston in 1909 and did not play major league baseball again until 1913, again from the Red Sox.
