Inscription. From 1991 until his passing, Steve spent 32 years in service to the Smithfield Blue Sox. He won the love and respect of players, managers, and fans with his passion for the game of baseball and his service to the team. In his early years, he prepped the field, packed the equipment for each game, served on the board of directors, and was Richard's right-hand man. Later in his career, he shifted his focus to scorekeeping and advertising/fundraising for the team, where he was the lead fundraiser for over 25 years. When there was a game at the park in Smithfield and the scoreboard was on, you knew Steve was in the crow's nest. Steve loved the Blue Sox and rarely missed a game home or away. He knew if he was gone, there was a chance the scoreboard could be wrong. Steve is a legend and will forever be remembered for his friendship and service to the players, fans, and Smithfield Blue Sox baseball organization.
