This lot features the 2003 UD Yankees Signatures Fred Sanford Auto Issue #PN -FS PSA 10!  ---

Having pitched 227 innings and appeared in 42 games with the Browns in 1948, Sanford's role with the Yankees was far more limited, as he pitched just 95.1 innings for the "Bronx Bombers" in 1949. Still, he proved to be a very important piece for the Yankees down the stretch, as he went 3–0 with a 2.31 ERA in the month of September to help hold off the surging Boston Red Sox, and win the American League by a game. Sanford did not make an appearance in the 1949 World Series against the Brooklyn Dodgers.

Sanford's name came up in trade rumors early in the 1950 season, as the Yankees were in need of left-handed pitching. He responded to these rumors by getting off to a 4–0 start; shortly after which, the Yankees acquired left hander Joe Ostrowski from the Browns without departing with Sanford.[6] From that point forward, Sanford's record fell to 1–4 with a 5.40 ERA. Having been a starter in the early part of the season, Sanford was demoted to the bullpen in June, making just one spot start in August. The Yankees returned to the World Series in 1950, however, Sanford was once again kept out of all four games with the Philadelphia Phillies. The Yankees won the World Series both seasons Sanford was with the club, but he did not make a postseason appearance.
