Bob Fontaine Jr. is a former MLB scout known for signing several big time players including Ozzie Smith, Randy Johnson, Tony Gwynn, Jim Abbott, Tim Salmon and many more. We discuss how he got his start as a scout by learning the ropes from his dad (former big league scout Bob Fontaine Sr.), the qualities he’d look for in a young ball player, and how the game has changed over the last several years.
