Scott Fletcher #345

This week, a guy who inspired a presidential dog name and had a sneaky good career...it's Scott Fletcher! Fletcher was a key part of the 1983 Winning Ugly White Sox before getting traded to the Rangers. While in Texas, George W. Bush bought the team and named a puppy "Spot Fetcher" after the team's shortstop. Scott was quietly one of the best shortstops in baseball during his career, with a solid bat, good eye, and great glove. He had a 15 year MLB career and was also part of the trade that sent Sammy Sosa out of Texas.
