Early life

Strutt played several years of amateur and semi-pro baseball.[8] In January 1935, it was reported that the Pittsburgh Pirates of the National League were hoping to sign Strutt to a contract.[8] He played for the Pirates' Class-C affiliate, the Hutchinson Larks, from 1936 to 1937 as an outfielder and third basemen.[10] Strutt played in 240 total games for the Larks, batting for a .333 average, 46 home runs, and 218 runs batted in.[10] In February 1937, Strutt decided to focus full-time on baseball with hopes to make the majors.[11] He later played in the PONY League.[12]

Coaching career

Strutt was an assistant football coach at Niagara University for several years.[13][14][15] He was an assistant coach for the 1942 Fort Knox Armoraiders football team.[16] He scouted the New York Giants on behalf of the Detroit Lions for the Giants–Lions preseason game on September 12, 1943.[17][18]
