Steve Barrett
An original member of the '75 AWA team, Steve was the team's first true slugger, and he wowed teammates and opponents alike with his prodigious power. He could, and often would, dominate a game with his bat, and he was the hitting star of AWA's 1975 league championship game. Steve occasionally showed that old pop in later years, but old man time slowly took its toll. For many seasons the team's starting right fielder, "Sleeve" found a home behind the plate in later years, which made the pitching staff much happier. He holds a share of a team record with five errors in one game, though Steve feels that record should have an asterisk because, after all, it was an extra inning game. In the old days, Steve was our designated beer chugger at a time when it wasn't politically incorrect to chug beers against other teams. He was good, too -- won lots of beers for us. Steve almost always swung at the first pitch, and so it was next to impossible to walk him.
