Resumé

The following is Steve Scott's personal baseball resume.  I will be updating it when something new happens or a change needs to be made.  New updates appear in red.
  • Attended over 1000 major league games in 18 ballparks (10 no longer in use).
  • Attended 8 World Series games in 4 different World Series, '88, '89, '90, '02 (was one strike away from seeing '86 Series in Anaheim.)
  • Attended every game of 1989 series, including earthquake game.
  • Attended every post-season game played in Bay Area in 1989.
  • Discovered back-door phone numbers into the ticket agency's switchboard and the five-employee office I worked at bought 2% of all 1989 World Series tickets put up for public sale, despite 14 million phone calls jamming phone company circuits.
  • Attended two All-Star Games - 1987 in Oakland and 2007 in San Francisco
  • Have caught 10 foul balls in 4 different ballparks.
  • Have caught 8 home run balls in two different ballparks, including 3 in one game.
  • Attended 173 regular season games in 1986 in 11 ballparks.
  • Attended 165 regular season games in 1987 in 7 ballparks, plus 11 spring training, 1 All Star and 3 post season games for a total of 180 games that year.
  • Visited Wrigley Field (day) and Old Comiskey Park (night) both in one day, on two consecutive days. (which was part of a greater trip....)
  • Did whirlwind tour: 8 games in 5 days in 5 different ballparks.
  • Witnessed two triple plays (A's hit into one, Giants hit into one)
  • Witnessed two inside-the-park grand slams (A's gave one up, Giants gave one up)
  • Witnessed Barry Bonds' 71st home run, Steve Carlton's 4000th strikeout, Mike Schmidt's last major league game, Bob Brenly's ML record 4 errors in one inning, Reggie Jackson hitting 3 HR's in one game, all time strikeout record in a game for both teams combined.
  • Turned in, with friends, more All-Star ballots voting against Steve Sax (and for Ryne Sandberg) in 1984 than Sandberg's victory margin.
  • Giants season ticket holder for, yes, it's true, 25 years!
  • Simultaneously held both Giants and A's season tickets in 1987 to get purchasing rights for '87 All-Star game in Oakland
  • Caught an A's home run in the bleachers - the game was on TV - and a friend (David Feldman) working in the video truck tipped off the announcers as to my name, and the camera crew to keep a camera on me, and they said my name over the TV
  • Saw all three Molina brothers start at catcher in the same day between a day game in Oakland (visiting Anaheim's Jose), and a night game later that night in San Francisco (visiting St. Louis's Yadier and San Francisco's Benjie)
  • I appear in the Giants' 1986 documentary "A Tale of Two Cities" about the Giants history. I'm shown holding a sign with a "no 100" universal symbol on the last game of the '85 season when the Giants had 99 losses.  The Giants lost that day, becoming the very last of the 16 original teams to lose 100 games in a season.
