West Point. Not many things can compare with the tenderness and the strength of witnessing a father work day and son, a evening with his commanding but hintful plea from the dugout screen, advice used to its maximum, and finally an embrace after small, but spectacular feat. Monte Frew has loved the sport of baseball ever since his small hands now-a-da- idol-vision- a tournament staged in Clearfield which involved all the teams, Scott missed the first game due to a scouting trip but came back to be ed the tournaments first an. John Tanner, who is the of Clearfields entry in the Beehive League, liked what he saw in Scott. And it hasnt been over two or three weeks now that Scott pitched a Beehive game and took home a cherished victory. all-st- ar player-coac- no-h- it ar w left-hand- ar left-hande- d, ar father, Scott walked the first batter who was thrown out trying to steal second. The big feat was that Scott struckout the next 20 batters he faced n to come home with a no-h-it game. I believe Scott is getting to the point sometimes where he can pitch to almost anyone. His control isnt really that bad but cant quite just pick up the corners sometimes. The players seem like they sometimes take pitches on him a lot and act like theyre up there just looking for a walk, said Scotts dad. Played Since He was 15 Since the age of 15, Monte began to play baseball in the old Farm Bureau League. Monte remembers cars lining, up for miles to come and see those ' games in Syracuse and some 1000 to 2200 people showing up for the games. , He played two years for Davis High, was an all-stselection to the North-Sout- h All-Stannual in 1948, played at Weber College and earned a scholarship to Utah State but turned it down due to physical problems. In the Army Monte associated and n NAME: . played with many players that eventually went on to perform in the major leagues. After the Army, Monte got involved in the Davis County Leagues and that has been the extent since then. As a youth he played on three state championship amateur teams. When my dad yells and gives advice some of it sinks in then other times it just flies over. I do here about it when Im in the dugout, said Scott. Scott enjoys pressure and feels it makes the game more fun, interesting, and makes players perform harder. Its too bad though, when pressure gets to be a dead or alive thing, .said Monte. "l admire me way some coacnes handle themselves, said Monte, I dont know if I could control myself out there. Both Monte and Scott have enjoyed hunting together and even today they get out occasionally. But it has been the sport of baseball that has brought this relationship closer, a sport they both love dearly. 1 : hereby give our permission for him to pui parent(s) or guardian(s) of .
