The Cubs once had a pitcher named Scott Sanderson. A Northbrook native, he pitched for the Cubs from 1984-89 and made postseason appearances for the team in both ‘84 and ‘89. His best years were elsewhere, but he’s generally fondly remembered on the North Side. He passed away in 2019, far too young at 62.
The Cubs also once had a pitcher named Scott Sanders, who you might not have remembered at all until you began reading this article.
