Scott Grove on baseball cards

Scott Grove pitched in the Braves, Brewers and Blue Jays organizations from 1988 to 1993. His best season was 1992, when he went 10-6 with 6 saves and a 3.23 ERA for the Dunedin Blue Jays. Overall in 169 games he went 33-34 with 12 saves and a 3.84 ERA. Now a physical education teacher, director of baseball operations and head baseball coach at Coffee High School in Douglas, GA, he kindly answered my questions about baseball cards.

Do you have any stories about cards of yourself or of other players? My favorite card was of Turk Wendell brushing his teeth in between innings when he pitched. Turk and I have been friends for over 30 years. 


Do you have a favorite card of yourself or of another player? I have attached my favorite card of myself.


Do you collect baseball cards? I did when I was younger. The only cards I have now are team sets of the teams I played on from 1988-1994.

Thanks!

  1. That's pretty cool that Mr. Grove and Mr. Wendell have been friends for 30 years. He did a great job of picking a favorite card of Turk. That's pretty awesome. Can't imagine there are a lot of "brushing teeth" cards out there.
