The third of the top rookies to have an indiviual card in the Donruss 1982 set (Johnny Ray, Kent Hrbek previously). Steve, of course shared a card on his 1982 Topps card (off hand I o think he appeared in the Fleer set). This appears to be a spring training photo but is that ivy on the outfield wall back there. I am surprised Steve never became a major league manager.
That's Wrigley Field. The green was the astroturf hitters background. The white building behind him is what was later known as the Budweiser building. In the early '80s, the roof was white with WGN radio and TV ads on it.
