It was a very good start for George Scott in the Majors, where as a rookie, he was named to the All-Star Team and was third in 1966 Rookie of the Year voting.  Playing at First Base for the Boston Red Sox, Scott had an above-average glove, and he was a decent power hitter, and “Boomer” became a fan-favorite at Fenway.

George Scott arrived in Milwaukee in late 1971 as part of a ten-player trade with the Red Sox, bringing a charismatic, powerful first baseman to the Brewers. Nicknamed "Boomer" for his power, Scott quickly became the team's offensive and defensive leader.

Scott showcased a glove that was nearly a vacuum at first base, earning a Gold Glove each season he played for the Brewers (1972–1976). His defense was stellar, and his bat was also strong; he had over 150 hits and 20 home runs in his debut season. This period established him as an elite two-way player who earned MVP votes each year, providing the Brewers with star power for their roster.

During the 1975 season, he led a decorated franchise campaign, mastering AL pitching by hitting 36 home runs and 109 RBIs, earning an All-Star and ranking eighth in MVP voting. He called his home runs “taters," a famous nickname for his power., and a term still used today.

After the 1976 season, he was traded back to the Boston Red Sox in a deal that brought future franchise icon Cecil Cooper to the Brewers.  With Milwaukee, Scott had 851 hits, 115 home runs, and 5 Gold Glove Awards.

The Flying Scotts (George and Sandy) were a very successful tag team all across Canada and other territories. However, it was behind the scenes where both brothers had a greater impact in the business. George Scott was working for the World Wrestling Federation during the time of the 80’s boom, and was an asset with booking, production and is widely considered to have been a vital part of the team. Sandy Scott would later work as an executive for World Championship Wrestling. Regardless of where they worked, or whether it was in the ring or out of it, there are few who generate more respect than the Scotts.
