Steve Wilson | |||||||||||||
In 1987 Steve made his AWA debut pitching for us in a tournament in Los Gatos. That weekend he won five games and hurled two shutouts. That was good enough for us -- we claimed him. Steve came to AWA after a long career managing and playing with the Chili Dogs, one of the better "C" teams in the state during the '80s. Bringing the attitude and high expectations that come from having played so many years at such a competitive level, Steve demanded much from all of us, and the team benefitted from Willie's knowledge and experience, not to mention his talent. Steve stands among the best in team history in career batting average and was a superior moundsman at a time when the AWA defense was getting old and creaky. Willie holds the unofficial record for the longest home run served up by an AWA pitcher. (We can't decide if the ball actually cleared that pine tree beyond the left field fence or merely clipped the top branches.) He always wore shorts and a tank top, even in the coldest weather. An excellent defensive player. | |||||||||||||
