Skrable was also part of the blockbuster trade between the Red Sox and Brewers that sent Jim Lonborg to the Brewers and Tommy Harper to Boston. Supposedly Skrable retired in the off season rather than report to the Red Sox; there are certainly no pics of him in a Red Sox uniform.

From Baseball-Reference's Jim Lonborg page..

"October 10, 1971: Traded by the Boston Red Sox with Ken Brett, Billy Conigliaro, Joe Lahoud, Don Pavletich and George Scott to the Milwaukee Brewers for Patrick Skrable (minors), Tommy Harper, Lew Krausse and Marty Pattin."
