MiniBio

He’s widely recognized as a four-time National League batting champion, and when he hung up his cleats, he left behind an impressive career batting average of .305. Throughout his time in the majors, he played a key role in helping the Pittsburgh Pirates clinch the World Series Championship back in 1979—a highlight that fans still talk about today. Before all the fame and spotlight, he was just a talented kid from Decatur, Illinois, where he showcased his athleticism by playing basketball, football, and baseball at Eisenhower High School. It was there that he began laying the foundation for what would become an outstanding professional career. Off the field, he built a fulfilling personal life with his wife Cindy, and together they raised four children—Jeremy, Sara, Stephen, and Douglas. His journey, from high school standout to baseball legend, continues to inspire many, and his legacy lives on both in the record books and in the hearts of those who followed his remarkable path.
