Remember Scott Sanderson? He pitched on 2 Chicago Cubs playoff teams ('84 & '89)? You've probably been wondering, whatever the fuck happened to that guy? Well, thank God for the Baptist Press news because they've got the scoop on Sanderson's whereabouts and his endeavors as a sports agent. If you're thinking he's like Scott Boras or Drew Rosenhaus in that flash and materialistic type of dude, you're wrong.
In a profession where materialism and avarice are prevalent, Sanderson said he and Moye consider their job an opportunity to model Christ. And with his vast first-hand knowledge, Sanderson relishes the opportunity to counsel his clients in a broad range of issues like handling success and failure on the field, dealing with a difficult manager and playing through injuries.
“There’s a lot of teaching that goes on, whether we mean it or not,” Sanderson said. “It’s great to have a baseball ministry.”
It's refreshing to see some levelheadedness in the sports agency world, although this sort of screams as a remake of Jerry Maguire (terrible movie by the way. I mean seriously, Cuba Gooding Jr. was a 4 foot 11 inch receiver. Give me a fucking break). With Sanderson doing good work and the Lord's work, it's only a matter of time before Fred Mitchell demands a statue of Sanderson outside of Wrigley Field.
