BULLPEN Newspaper.  1985—Newtons Revisited—Former football player Ed Scott (center) was a 17-year-old New Orleans Babe Ruth team member who participated in the 1978 Babe Ruth Baseball 16-18 World Series in Lawrenceville, Tennessee.  He stayed with the Newton family and became such good friends with his Host Family that he returned several times.  

Despite great success with the Grambling University and L.A. Express (USFL) football teams, the Newtons reported that Scott was as quiet and humble as the young man they first met in 1978.  He is pictured with the Newton’s children, Eric and Tracy.

Triples

To this day, triplets are unique in Babe Ruth League.  Joe McGrath was one of the founders of the Northampton Babe Ruth League and never could be blamed if he occasionally confused the three Tewhill triplets.
