Growing up in sunny Southern California, Steve Springer was always told that he was too small and would never make it as a baseball player. Just 4 feet, 11 inches when he entered high school, Steve barely made his freshman team, getting only a few at-bats the entire season. The rest of the time he coached first base. Steve only played in a handful of games during four years of high school, even though he started to grow after he turned sixteen. He hoped to follow in the footsteps of his older brother, Gary, and play baseball at a local community college, but he was cut from the team after trying out. Believing that his competitive baseball career was over, Steve wondered what he was going to do in life. What follows is a remarkable story of overcoming disappointment and persistent obstacles on a journey that would lead Steve to the pinnacle of baseball—the major leagues.
