I'll miss George Scott. As a 14 year old in 1967 (the year the Red Sox turned it around) Scott was an integral and colorful part of the crazy rebirth of baseball in Boston.

Arguably the best fielding first baseman ever ( I am aware of other contenders) Scott brought a joy to the field that other pros should emulate. He had his issues and human failures, none of which were criminal, but he oozed love of the game whenever and wherever he played.

RIP big fella, you touched some lives, like mine, in ways you could never know.
