Bertrum Scarborough Green (born June 9, 1974, in Creve Coeur, Missouri) was a Major League Baseball outfielder.

Drafted by the St. Louis Cardinals in the 10th round of the 1992 MLB amateur draft, Green made his Major League Baseball debut with the St. Louis Cardinals on August 2, 1997, and he appeared in his final game on October 1, 2000.

Green was notable for his role as a replacement player during spring training prior to the 1995 season. Replacement players took over for professional baseball players when the Major League Baseball Players Association (MLBPA) went on strike. The strike was resolved at the end of spring training. Green returned to Major League Baseball with the Cardinals in 1997; however, he was blacklisted and not permitted to join the MLBPA. Fact|date=February 2007

Following his career in baseball, Green pursued a collegiate football career at NCAA Division II Harding University. There he met friend and future roommate Blake Timmons (Dallas Christian High School, McMurry University football). Timmons, Green, and Norman Griffin each transferred to Division III McMurry University in Abilene, Texas, to play football.

While serving as the football team's punter, wide receiver, and in other positions, Green participated in track and field for McMurry. Green had a strong leg in the 2007 National Champion McMurry University 4x100 relay team, and he added to his All-American titles by running in the 4x400 relay. Teammate (4x100 and 4x400) John Mikalik (Georgetown Highschool, McMurry Track and Field) was part of a national broadcast centered on the career/life of Bert Green. As both entered their last season for McMurry University, expectations for the 2008 track and field season—including a defense of the national title—were high.
