George Louis Scales (August 16, 1900 - April 15, 1976),[1] nicknamed "Tubby", was an American second baseman and manager in Negro league baseball, most notably with the New York Lincoln Giants and Baltimore Elite Giants. Born in Talladega, Alabama,[1] he batted .321 over a 25-year career during which he played several positions. He also managed for twelve seasons in the Puerto Rican winter league, winning six pennants,[1] and led the Caribbean World Series champions in 1951.
Buck Leonard claimed that George Scales was the best curveball hitter he ever saw.[2]
After retiring from baseball in 1958, he became a stockbroker.[citation needed] He died at age 75 in Compton, California.[1]
