Should I call and let the scouts who attended know that I appreciate them taking the time to come or just let them go about their regular business?

Just curious as to why you say that? I really don't have an opinion one way or the other but wonder why you would recommend against it?
i wouldn't want to give the impresion of being the medling parent. i mean the one you read about, when they rip up the info card after they talk to you.
that would be my thought,i was always so surprised/happy that any one was watching. never thought to say thanks.

I am a player, but I wasn't sure if it would seem like you were saying. I don't want to come off as being meddling, I just want to show that I really do appreciate it (although I do realize it is their job).

if they talk to you ,at a game or on the phone.as a player i think thanking them would be cool. calling them to thank them, maybe not so cool. but i don't think it would be held against you,if you called. jmo.

Its good that you are so thankful, but those guys jobs are to come see guys like you...
I would save your thanks for the guy who signs you one day!

Weave,
I know what you are saying, but are they going to call you and thank you for pitching at the game they showed up to see?
Spark is right, these guys get paid to come and see players

future back mom,
If it were a college recruiter I would say call thank him for taking the time..
A pro scout to me is different ... If he speaks with the player after the game, sure thank him for coming but unless he gave me his number and I had a reason to call, I wouldn't bother him just to say thanks

Wonderful.. Just the information I was looking for. I see what you guys are saying about it being their job...I realized that shortly after I really put some thought into it.
Amazing what thinking can do for you!
Thanks for your help. Sparky, thanks for the kind words in the thread about Coach Napoleon.

If given the opprotunity look the scout in the eye and shake his hand and tell him thanks for coming and I want to play!
