Scott Anthony Seabol is the son of Karen Seabol (deceased) and Robert Seabol and was born on born May 17, 1975. He is commonly referred to as "C-Bol", and is a professional baseball player with the Hiroshima Carp of the Nippon Professional Baseball league. He made his Major League debut on April 8, by|2001, with the New York Yankees, but only for a single game. After some time in the Milwaukee Brewers farm system, he signed with the St. Louis Cardinals on May 27, by|2003. Seabol played several positions with the Cardinals in a backup role, primarily third base. In by|2006, he was signed by the Florida Marlins and invited to spring training as a non-roster invitee. In December by|2007, Seabol signed with the Carp for the by|2008 season.

Scott played junior college baseball at Allegany Community College,and in his earlier years, played high school ball at South Allegheny junior/senior High School in Glassport, Pennslyvania. He is one of five former Trojans to make it to major league baseball. The others are John Kruk, Joe Beimel, Stan Belinda, and Steve Kline.

He was drafted by the New York Yankees in the 88th round of the by|1996 amateur draft. When he made his major league debut with the Yankees in 2001, he became the lowest drafted player ever to make it all the way to the major leagues. That record has since been broken by other players. He is now across the country with his wife, Diana Seabol, and his twin boys, Cole and Cameron Seabol. They will be staying there until late summer.
