Scott Edward Lusader (born September 30, 1964 in Chicago, Illinois) is a former Major League Baseball player who played for the Detroit Tigers from 1987-1990 and briefly for the New York Yankees in 1991. Born in Chicago, Lusader attended the University of Florida before playing in the major leagues. He was drafted by the Detroit Tigers in the 6th round of the 1985 amateur draft. As a rookie in 1987, Lusader hit .319 in 23 games with a .489 slugging percentage, three doubles, a triple, a home run, and eight RBIs. Lusader's average dropped to .063 in 16 games in 1988. In 1989, Lusader had career highs with 103 at bates, 15 runs, 26 hits, and four doubles. In 1990, he played in a career-high 45 games and had 16 RBIs. On September 8, 1990, Lusader tied a major league record by committing three errors in the outfield in a single inning. Fighting the sun and a soggy turf, Lusader became the eight major league outfielder to accomplish the feat. It was the first in the American League since 1925. Lusader dropped a Carlos Martinez fly ball for his first error. The second error came when Lusader threw the ball to the wall behind home plate for another error. [1] Lusader played in 11 games for the Yankees in 1991 before being released. He played in his last major league game on May 11, 1991.
