Anthony Scott (born September 18,1951) is a former American professional baseball center fielder and coach.
Scott was drafted by the Montreal Expos in the 71st round of the 1969 Major League Baseball draft. After five seasons in their farm system,he received a September call-up to the Expos in 1973. He appeared in eleven games as a pinch runner,and received only one at-bat,in which he struck out.
After repeating the same formula with Scott in 1974,the Expos named him their starting centerfielder in 1975. He batted .191 with eleven runs batted in and no home runs through the All-Star break,and was replaced in center by Pepe Mangual for the rest of the season. He spent all of 1976 with the Triple-A Denver Bears,batting .311 with 18 stolen bases in 106 games. [1]
He was traded along with Steve Dunning and Pat Scanlon from the Expos to the St. Louis Cardinals for Bill Greif,Sam Mejías and Ángel Torres on November 8,1976. All three players coming to St. Louis had spent the 1976 season with the Denver Bears which were led by recently hired Cardinals manager Vern Rapp. [1]
Scott enjoyed moderate success with the Cardinals,as he batted .291 with three home runs and 41 RBIs sharing playing time with Jerry Mumphrey during his first season in St. Louis. After falling into a fourth outfielder role in 1978,he was given the starting centerfield job in 1979. He responded by hitting six home runs while driving in 68 runs and stealing 37 bases,all career highs.
Scott was dealt from the Cardinals to the Houston Astros for Joaquín Andújar on June 6,1981. He was hitting .227 and mired in a 2-for-43 slump at the time of the transaction. He had also fallen behind Dane Iorg and Tito Landrum on the team's outfielder depth chart. [2]
Scott batted .293 and provided a steady glove in centerfield in the spacious Astrodome his first season in Houston. He was the starting centerfielder again in 1982,but after batting .239 with one home run and 29 RBIs,he was relegated to a fourth outfielder role in 1983. Released by the Astros after hitting .190 in 25 games,he returned to the Expos two weeks later on June 29,1984. [3]
