Mostly, though, Scroggs' answers were measured simply because he was reflecting back to an April day more than a half-century ago. Reaching back in time to April 22, 1954 isn't something Scroggs does with any great regularity. But on this afternoon, it's easy to tell that he's a bit puffed up, and more than a little proud to discuss the day he broke into organized baseball.

Scroggs also accounted for much of his team's offense that night. He connected for a pair of doubles and drove in two runs, a fact that wasn't surprising, considering the Cardinals and Tigers had expressed interest in signing him to play shortstop.
