Reggie Sanders Reginald Laverne Sanders (born December 1, 1967 in
Florence, South Carolina) is a former right fielder in Ma-
jor League Baseball. He bats and throws right-handed.
Sanders was 24 years old when he made his major league
debut on August 22, 1991, after being selected in the 7th
round of the 1987 amateur draft by the Cincinnati Reds.
He attended Spartanburg Methodist College before be-
ginning his pro career with the Rookie-level Billings Mus-
tangs of the Pioneer League in 1988. He also played pro-
fessionally with the St. Louis Cardinals, Pittsburgh Pi-
rates, Atlanta Braves, San Francisco Giants, San Diego
Padres and Kansas City Royals, and was a member of
the Arizona Diamondbacks’ 2001 World Series champi-
ons. With the Cardinals, Sanders had a breakout of sorts
during the 2005 National League Division Series against
the San Diego Padres. In a three-game sweep of the
Padres, Sanders had 10 runs batted in, a new record for a
division series.
On April 13, 1994, Pedro Martínez lost a perfect game
with one out in the eighth inning when he hit Cincin-
Outfielder nati’s Sanders with a pitch. An angered Sanders charged
Born: December 1, 1967 (1967-12-01) the mound, and was later ridiculed in the press for as-
Florence, South Carolina suming that a pitcher would abandon a perfect game in
order to hit a batter intentionally.
