Mo Sanford

[William Malone]

Meredith Leroy Sanford Jr was born on December 24, 1966 in Americus, Georgia.

The Cincinnati Reds selected him in round 32 of the 1988 MLB Draft. He made his Major League debut for them in 1991, going 1-2 with a 3.86 ERA in five starts as a rookie. Sanford spent all of 1992 in Triple-A, and was then taken by the Colorado Rockies during the expansion draft. He pitched 11 games out of their bullpen in 1993, and spent all of 1994 in the minors.

Sanford came to the Minnesota Twins on a minor league deal in 1995. He broke camp with the team, and tossed 2.1 shutout innings of relief during a 9-0 loss on Opening Day. Minnesota released him in June after he posted a 5.30 ERA over 18.1 relief innings. This was the end of his time in the Major Leagues, but Sanford continued to pitch professionally through 2000.
