Scanlon appeared in two games for Montreal as a late-season call-up, going 1-for-4 at the plate with a run scored while getting some time out at third base.
He would go on to play 60 games the following year, the most action he’d see in any one season during his brief four-year career.
Over those 60 games he hit .183, with 20 hits over 109 at-bats with a couple of home runs with 15 runs batted in, along with five runs scored while playing third and first defensively.
It would be the only season where he'd see any significant playing time, as he'd only get into 11 games the following year before moving on to San Diego for the 1977 season, where he managed to get into 47 games with 91 plate appearances (for which he did get a card in the 1978 set, airbrush and all).
However Scanlon would never play another game on the Major League level again, finishing up his career with 120 games, 219 at-bats, 41 hits and a lifetime .187 batting average.
