Scott Bullard got credit for 4 pro games, passed in 2020

-

Scott Bullard moved on from his baseball career early on. He then went into a new one, building fences.

He started Bullard Fence with his brother in his hometown of Jacksonville, Florida and worked over two decades to build the business, until his passing.

Bullard passed away in June 2020 at the age of 50.

His brief baseball career came three decades earlier, in 1990, taken by the Astros in the 41st round of the draft out of Florida State College at Jacksonville.

Bullard played with the Astros in the rookie Gulf Coast League. He's recorded as getting into four games, starting three. He went 2-1, with a 1.64 ERA. 

According to his obituary, arm problems then prevented him from going further. He underwent Tommy John surgery and ultimately went home to Jacksonville.

"When Scott wasn't working he enjoyed spending his time with family & friends, playing golf, and cooking out," his obituary read.

(G21D Photo) When my wife and I were in Baltimore in 2005, the Red Sox were in town playing the Orioles. At one point during the game, the Red Sox player walked up to the plate and tapped the catcher on the shoulder in a gesture of recognition. I remember telling my wife about it later. The two players were Johnny Damon and Sal Fasano . Both players came up in the Royals system and played together there. I found it cool and interesting, especially because I'd seen Fasano play years before, when my dad and I frequented Cedar Rapids Kernels games in 1994. Fasano played that year for the Rockford Royals , winning the league's MVP . I mention all this because I had the opportunity to cross paths with Fasano again unexpectedly this past weekend. Fasano, with his distinctive mustache, served as the fill-in manager for the New Hampshir...
