Steve Bowling

Steve Bowling was a professional baseball player born in 1952, whose career spanned from 1976 to 1977. He played primarily as a position player and appeared in 103 games over his time in Major League Baseball. Bowling recorded a total of 47 hits, which included one home run and 15 runs batted in (RBIs), achieving a batting average of .199. Known for his speed on the base paths, he successfully stole two bases during his career. Bowling's time in the majors coincided with a period of significant change in baseball, marked by the transition from the deadball era to a more offensively driven game. While his offensive numbers may not reflect the power-hitting trends of the late 1970s, his versatility and contributions on the field were part of the broader narrative of baseball during that era. After his retirement on October 2, 1977, Bowling's legacy remained as a reminder of the grit and determination required to compete at the highest level in sports.
