His team won the doubleheader, and Steve had an impressive performance at the plate. In addition to baseball, he played basketball and won a punt, pass, and kick contest for the entire San Fernando Valley as a teenager. Alongside sports, he became involved in the theater department, acting in plays and performing stunt work, all while holding a full-time job. After graduating from L.A.
