Biographical Information

Marty Krug was a scout for the Detroit Tigers and Philadelphia Phillies between 1931 and 1948. As a scout for the Tigers, Krug advised the family of a player in San Diego, CA that he was too skinny and frail to play baseball. He told the mother to discontinue her son's playing career out of concern for his safety. Ted Williams went on to a Hall of Fame career anyway.

Krug was the head baseball coach at UCLA from 1937 to 1939.
