John Stanley Sanford (May 18, 1929 – March 7, 2000) was a right-handed pitcher from Wellesley Hills, Massachusetts, who spent 12 seasons in Major League Baseball. After seven years in the minors, he debuted with the Philadelphia Phillies in September 1956 and made an immediate impact the following year, posting a 19–8 record with a 3.08 ERA, 15 complete games, and a National League-leading 188 strikeouts — earning a spot on the 1957 NL All-Star roster.
