David Carter Anderson (born August 1, 1960, in Louisville, Kentucky) is a former shortstop/third baseman in Major League Baseball who played for the Los Angeles Dodgers (1982-89, 1992) and San Francisco Giants (1990-91).
He made his major league debut on May 8, 1983, and played his final game on October 3, 1992. Anderson was a member of the Dodgers team that won the 1988 World Series. He was on-deck as a decoy to pinch-hit for the pitcher before manager Tommy Lasorda brought in the injured Kirk Gibson who went on to win the game with one of the most dramatic home runs in World Series history.
Anderson was the Manager for the 1994 Jamestown Jammers of the Single A Short Season New York-Penn League. He led the team to a 42-32 record finishing in first place in the Stedler Division and losing in the playoff semi-final round to the New Jersey Cardinals.
Anderson is currently the third base coach for the Texas Rangers.
