Scott Starting off Fast
Austin, one of my faithful readers, sent me a tip about former Valler Leaguer Luke Scott (Staunton 99), who is getting regular playing time in the outfield for the surprising Baltimore Orioles. Austin got a chance to talk to Luke during the Orioles' FanFest on March 31, and Austin was happy to report that Luke has not forgotten his Valley roots, answering, "Yep, and we won it all that year!" when Austin asked Scott if he played in the Valley.
Scott is currently hitting 417/517/667 in 24 at-bats, with 3 doubles and a home run. Luke came over to Baltimore from Houston in the Miguel Tejada trade. For a short article on the trade's results so far, click here.

At least his bat is better than his taste in sunglasses :-D Hideous.
