Born three weeks premature, Scott never filled out his small frame, and he spends every Saturday morning try to make up for his inadequacy by pounding the crap out of the ball on the softball field. He wears a brace on his knee because the muscles in his leg never fully developed.

Half the size of some of Express’ biggest hitters, Scott leads the team with 10 home runs and 42 RBI, 14 more than the next closest member of the Minutemen. He holds multiple records for longest hits, which he gets by using a child’s bat, the only one he can lift above his shoulders.

Scott’s talents extend to designing logos, picking colors that match while staying consistent with the paper’s header and playing the “roving” outfield position.
