A solid hitter, Scott was trying to break into a 1928 Pirate outfield that already
had the Waner brothers. While chasing a deep fly at Forbes Field, he crashed into
the wall and suffered a concussion that ended his major league career.

The Pirates trade OF Kiki Cuyler to the Cubs for 2B Sparky Adams and OF Pete Scott. Cuyler had become expendable after rookie Lloyd Waner became a starter, but will be a great addition to the Cubs. Adams will have two seasons in Pittsburgh before going to the Cards.
