My Scott Bryant Card

The Score baseball cards set in 1990 featured the card of a cousin of mine, Scott Bryant. Scott had been named the college player of the year after a terrific season at the University of Texas. He had played the outfield and hit very well. He also did some relief pitching because he had a very strong arm. The Longhorns went to the College World Series that season in Omaha. They advanced to the tournament undefeated.

In the finals they met at Wichita State for the championship. In the championship game Scott was the pitcher. Unfortunately the team was beaten by the Shockers. But Scott was drafted in the first round by the Cincinnati Reds and so he was included in the cards set as one of the top round draft picks.
