Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times had an interesting note about new Rays designated hitter Luke Scott, who in addition to being a good baseball player is well known for hunting large animals and saying controversial things about Barack Obama:
Scott brought the two 7½-foot spears that he has used to kill wild pigs to the clubhouse, showing them off to inquiring teammates (and reporters). “Guys were asking me about them,” he said. “Take a look, see what you think, come out (hunting) if you want.”
Topkin’s article also includes this quote from Scott:
You don’t have to worry about me unless you’re a criminal or a communist.
Scott and Rays manager Joe Maddon seem like a ... well, let’s say “interesting” match. Of course, if he hits like he did prior to 2011 something tells me Scott and Maddon will get along beautifully no matter what.
