There was a time when Scott Doughty's dedication to co-ed softball was unquestionable. That was before his doctor and his wife agreed that he was in good enough physical condition to use his reproductive organs.
The former Buttermilk Five Captain and Batting Champion would drive from his New Hampshire estate once a week to bring the bats and scorebook to all games.
Nowadays, Doughty spends his days chained to a desk in his basement where he sells software to companies that use the internet. In his evenings, he likes to watch Bob The Builder and Barney with his three sons, Emilio, Hector and Pablo.
Doughty was once the longest tenured Buttermilker towards end of his career. He had amazing versatility being used as a pitcher, first basemen and a rangy outfielder. With the footspeed of 2 bedroom condominium, there wasn't a ball that he couldn't get to.
When asked about Doughty's impact on his own life, current BM5 Player/Coach, Chris Hogan, said, "Scott had the softest skin of anyone I've ever played with. I still miss the sweet smell of his musk."
With the BM5 opener scheduled for next Wednesday, May 6, the team will hang a Doughty jersey in the dugout to remember their former teammate. The Pancakes will travel to Casey Field in Watertown to take on the B.I. Ballers for the inaugural game of the 2009 campaign.
