In the four years Scott Brosius played for the New York Yankees, he was a model citizen, doing the right things and saying the right things, never unnecessarily calling attention to himself. The son of an Oregon car salesman, Brosius got along well with others, killing time in the clubhouse as part of a running bridge game with bench coach Don Zimmer and Paul O'Neill.
Brosius came to bat in a big spot in Game 3 of the 1998 World Series against Padres closer Trevor Hoffman with the Yankees working to go up 3-0 in the Series.
