Born Ralph Robert Scott in Weimar, Germany, the New York Yankees took him out of Newburgh Free Academy in the 17th round of the 1965 draft; he was the first high school player from the Mid-Hudson region drafted by a big league club. He spent a year in the Army in 1967, playing at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri.
