Major League Baseball Player. The Washington Senators right-hander
broke the hearts of the Boston Red Sox on the same date, September
28, two years in a row in 1948 and 1949. He won a six-hit, 4-2
victory in Boston, dropping the Red Sox two games behind Cleveland
in the 1948 pennant race. The two teams wound up tied for first
place, and the Indians won the playoff and then the World Series
title. It was much the same the following year. Scarborough fired
a four-hitter in a 2-1 triumph, knocking the Red Sox from undisputed
first place into a tie with the New York Yankees. Boston had led
1-0 behind Chuck Stobbs going into the ninth. The Senators tied it
up, and Mel Parnell came in. With runners on a second and third and
two out and pinch-hitter Buddy Lewis at bat, Parnell uncorked a wild
pitch for the winning run. Red Sox manager Joe McCarthy was heavily
criticized for not walking Lewis intentionally with Scarborough on
deck. In that game, both Ted Williams and Vern Stephens failed to
get the ball out of the infield. He struck out seven, getting
Williams twice. Boston later took a one-game lead with two to play,
but those pair were at Yankee Stadium. New York took them both and
then another World Series title. He pitched for Washington (1942
to 1943, 1946 to 1950), the Chicago White Sox (1950), the Red Sox
(1951 to 1952), the Yankees (1952 to 1953) and the Detroit Tigers
(1953). He also was in the military in 1944-45. He was 15-8 with
the Senators in 1948 with a 2.82 earned run average. That year he
also made veteran Bill McGowan so incensed for disputing his calls
behind the plate that the umpire threw his ball-and-strike indicator
at the hurler. As a result of other confrontations during the July
20 game, McGowan, with 25 years' experience, received a 10-day
suspension by the American League. Washington traded Scarborough
with first baseman Eddie Robinson and infielder Al Kozar to the
White Sox on May 31, 1950 for pitchers Bob Kuzava and Joe Ostrowski
and infielder Cass Michaels. Chicago shipped him to Boston with
pitcher Bill Wight on Dec. 10, 1950 for pitchers Joe Dobson and
Dick Littlefield and outfielder Al Zarilla. He was 12-9 for the
Red Sox in 1951. His 10-year career totals were 80-85 with a 4.13
ERA and 59 complete games in 168 starts. (bio by: Ron Coons)
