SMSBL Hall of Fame

Scott grew up in Michigan and got started in sports as soon as he was old enough to pick up a bat and ball and football, and later a basketball. Football and baseball were always his favorites though. He started playing organized baseball when he was eight, but had been practicing in the back yard with his dad and brother long before that. Scott's dad coached a Iou, 12u and 14u teams in Battle Creek, and Scott didn't make the cut for 10u his first year, so he played in the Pennfield little league, with the Cubs no less and played shortstop (team he plays and manages now in 60+). After 14u, he continued with summer baseball and was playing organized football stating in 8th grade. He played football, basketball and baseball during his four years in high school and baseball during the summers. His last three years in high school, he was switched from infield to centerfield and was the leadoff hitter. He was recruited to play football and baseball in college, and chose the Dll football route at Michigan Technological University as a wide receiver, and loved it. He was a redshirt freshman and lettered and started the next four years, leading the team in receptions his Jr and Sr year.

After graduation and attending a federal law enforcement academy, he started working for the federal govern ment, working in Ml, NY, PA, SoCal, WA, NV and then Sacramento. He always seemed to find a softball team in most of the places including Sacramento. Scott saw an ad for baseball tryouts in 2009 so attended the session, and has been playing ever since. He's been with the Timberwolves, Phillies, Seals, Royals, Free Agents, and tournaments with the Seals, Royals, Bombers, SoCal Trojans, Blue Jays and Giltner Dodgers. And he currently manages the Winter Seals, Summer Seals and 60+ Cubs.

In just the last three years (plus spring 2022) he's played in over 300 baseball games. Guess you could say, he likes to play ball! But more importantly, he says it's not just about playing the game, it's about the friendships and camaraderie developed with both teammates and opponents. There have been many championships with these teams and Scott has the utmost respect and admiration for all those he has played with and against over the years. And he hopes to continue with those friendships for a long, long time. And most important, many, many thanks to his biggest supporter and fan, his lovely wife, Nina.
