The Scout’s Driver: Based on the True (but greatly exaggerated) Stories of Big League Baseball Scout Pat Murtaugh

by Ronald J. Rychlak

Pat Murtaugh is an MLB scout for the New York Yankees and eats, sleeps, and breathes all things baseball. After a series of misunderstandings during spring training, his driver’s license is suspended. Without a car, his scouting career is doomed. Roger is a former minor league pitcher who never made the big leagues. Unable to figure out his next career move, Roger moves back in with his parents, including his overly critical father, and substitute teaches at the local high school. Desperate to keep his job, Pat hires Roger as his driver for the summer. The two crisscross the country scouting new talent for the team, interacting with die-hard fans, aspiring and former players, and a scout from the Red Sox who’s trying to woo the best players away from the Yankees. But Roger is easily distracted by a pretty face and isn’t always reliable. When Pat is bitten by a black widow spider just before draft day, his ability to successfully represent the Yankees is put in jeopardy. Will that rival scout steal their best players or can Roger step up and save the day?
