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.

Last May, after Cordova posted a 6-21 record, Anderson was relieved of his duties from the Cordova baseball program. In a position where he was considered an at-will, year-to-year contracted coach, Anderson was given an option of resigning or termination. When he refused to resign, he was relieved of his duties.

But next spring, Anderson will be back on the diamond.

Anderson, 82, was hired as an assistant coach for the Capital Christian High School baseball team. He will be working with head coach Nelson Randolph, who led the Cougars to the section’s Division V crown last spring. Capital Christian has played in the last three section title games.
