I have three cards of Shooty Babitt. This one is from 1982 Fleer.
Playing career: Shooty Babitt played in 54 major league
games, all in 1981 for the Oakland A’s, hitting .256 with 0 HR and 14 RBI. He
was fifth in the AL Rookie of the Year voting.
Where he is now: Babitt’s situation is pretty unique – he
actually works for two teams! He is a scout for the Mets, and an A’s TV
analyst. Presumably there is not direct conflict there but it’s still pretty
odd.
My memories: He’s from before my time. Only know him from
his card.
Google Autocomplete results: He is fourth when you type
Shooty, between Shootyz Groove I Train Video, a rap rock video, and Shooty Mans
3, a video game parody. There do not appear to be any other prominent Shooty
Babitts.
Coming up next: The next profile will be Brandon Backe.
