Guy Anderson, Rancho Cordova’s Baseball Legend

Baseball has been a part of Guy Anderson’s life for a long time.

For 45 years, Anderson was the Cordova High School baseball head coach in which he racked up 927 wins, second among California high school baseball coaches. Anderson guided many Lancer teams to multiple league crowns and five Sac-Joaquin Section titles. His 2014 Cordova baseball team captured the Capital Athletic League crown.

Anderson also taught and eventually became Cordova’s athletic director before he retired from education in the early 2000s but continued as the Lancers’ head coach. He also coached for five years at Capital Christian.

“It’s a game that gets under the skin and when it gets there, it stays there," Anderson said.

Anderson’s honored to still be able to play the game he loves so very much. 

“I’m a 'punch and Judy' hitter, not a long ball hitter. I make contact and run and the good Lord gave me some legs that lasted pretty well.”
