Marco Scutaro
Marcos Scutaro, better known as Marco Scutaro, (/ˈskuːtəroʊ/; born October 30, 1975) is a Venezuelan former professional baseball infielder. He bats and throws right-handed. Scutaro made his major league debut with the New York Mets in 2002, and subsequently played for the Oakland Athletics, Toronto Blue Jays, Boston Red Sox, Colorado Rockies and San Francisco Giants. Scutaro was named the most valuable player of the 2012 National League Championship Series while with the Giants; he and the team then won the 2012 World Series over the Detroit Tigers.
Scutaro was one of the primary subjects of the 2005 documentary A Player to be Named Later.
Marcos Scutaro was born on October 30, 1975, in San Felipe, Venezuela. He is of Italian descent. He began playing baseball at age six.
Scutaro originally signed with the Cleveland Indians as an amateur free agent on July 26, 1994. As a teenager, Scutaro considered Cleveland infielder and fellow Venezuelan Omar Vizquel his favorite player and would often watch Vizquel at spring training.
Scutaro was traded by the Indians to the Milwaukee Brewers on August 30, 2000, as the player to be named later in a trade that had sent Kane Davis, Paul Rigdon and Richie Sexson to the Brewers for Jason Bere, Bob Wickman and Steve Woodard on July 28. Scutaro was in the 2005 documentary film A Player To Be Named Later, which followed players from Indianapolis Indians, the Triple-A affiliate of the Milwaukee Brewers, for one season. He was waived at the start of the 2002 season by the Brewers, who needed to make room for Nelson Figueroa on its roster.
Scutaro was claimed off waivers by the New York Mets on April 5, 2002. He batted .319 with 22 doubles, seven home runs, 28 runs batted in and 48 runs scored in 97 games with the Triple-A Norfolk Tides in 2002. He was also selected to the International League squad for the Triple-A All-Star Game that summer.
Scutaro's first promotion to the majors came on July 19 when the Mets recalled him from the Tides to replace the injured Joe McEwing. Scutaro introduced himself to Mets manager Bobby Valentine that afternoon while the latter was eating lunch at the hotel in Cincinnati where the team was staying. Valentine reciprocated the greeting without knowing who Scutaro was. After completing his meal, Valentine inquired about why Scutaro was lingering. "I just got called up", Scutaro responded.
Scutaro was again selected off waivers, this time by the Oakland Athletics, on October 9, 2003.
