Bill Lee said the best third baseman he ever saw was George Scott, and after they moved him over to first, well that became history with his eight gold gloves. He could get into some batting slumps with that big swing of his but with his easy going personality and phenominal fielding skills you couldn't help but like the guy. Every time I see #5 on the back of a Sox uniform I always think of Scotty.
Remember those rubber sweat suits he used to wear every spring training trying to loose weight?
