The 1907 Pirates finished second in the National League (NL) with a 91–63 record, 17 games behind the pennant-winning Chicago Cubs. Anderson, a native of Cleveland, Ohio, started in the majority of Pittsburgh's games that season, usually in right field. He batted .206 in 127 games, well below the NL average of .243. The 80 bases on balls he drew (fifth in the league), however, along with 6 hit by pitches, gave him an on-base percentage of .343, well above the NL average of .308. 1907 was his only season in the major leagues.
