Frank Butner Anderson (June 16, 1882 – November 8, 1966) was an American college football, and baseball coach as well as athletic director. He was the first football and baseball coach in the history of Oglethorpe University and the namesake of its baseball field.[1] The field was dedicated as such on May 11, 1963. Anderson was inducted into the Oglethorpe Athletic Hall of Fame, a member of its inaugural class of 1962.[2] He always wore his baseball uniform to practice and to games. He is known by some as the "Dean of Southern Baseball Coaches."[1][3] Frank is the father of Alf Anderson.
