I don't think I've posted this before. George "Boomer" Scott, two years from banging 33 homers for the Red Sox, was dealt by them in early 1979, released two months later by the Royals, and then joined the Yankees at the end of August for 15 shots as the DH and about two innings at first base - and actually hit .318 in his big league farewell.

I was there several times in September, 1979, and I never saw him do as much as take batting practice. But he did drink a lot of coffee and visit with a lot of players. Not sure what was going on with that patch on his face. Feel free to use this image as needed.
