Famously, he was prominent in the main press photo with President Reagan when visiting the White House with the team.

After being away from the game for 18 years, Steve was hired by the Pittsburgh Pirates in December 2009 to be their minor league fielding coordinator. See Steve's baseball cards at TCDB.
