Timeline

1947

Steven Michael Stone (born July 14, 1947) is an American former Major League Baseball (MLB) player and current sportscaster and author.

1960

His maternal grandfather, Edward Manheim, lived to see Stone celebrate his bar mitzvah in September 1960.

Stone played high school ball at Charles F. Brush High School for baseball Coach Jim Humpall.

Growing up he also won several tennis championships, was a ping pong champion, and was a proficient golfer.

At Kent State University, Stone was an outstanding pitcher and his catcher was Thurman Munson.

He was selected to the All Mid-American Conference team, and was named team captain as a junior.

1968

He had a 2.00 ERA for the Chatham Anglers in the Cape Cod League in 1968.

He also starred on the bowling, volleyball, and tennis teams.

He joined Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity.

In 1968, he was drafted by the Cleveland Indians in the 16th round of the draft, but did not sign.

1969

In February 1969, he was drafted by the San Francisco Giants in the fourth round of the draft (secondary phase).

From 1969–1971, Stone pitched in the minor leagues.

In 1969, he pitched for the Fresno Giants, in 1970 for the Phoenix Giants and Amarillo Giants, and in 1971 again for Phoenix.

He compiled a 32–24 record, and struck out nearly a batter per inning.

1970

He graduated in 1970 with a teaching degree in history and government.

1971

Stone pitched for four MLB teams between 1971 and 1981.

Breaking the stereotype of ballplayers in his era, Stone said: "Charlie Fox (manager of the Giants in 1971) felt the only way a ballplayer could perform was to chew tobacco, wear a sloppy uniform and, as he put it, not be afraid to get a bloody nose, and eat, drink and sleep baseball. I never thought a bloody nose was all that comfortable, and tobacco upsets my stomach. I like to eat – but not baseball – and I never thought sleeping with the game would be all that enjoyable. I think he thought reading hurt your eyes."

Ron Fimrite mused in Sports Illustrated in May 1971 that Stone was "a Jewish intellectual … who just might be a right-handed (Sandy) Koufax."

1972

In 1972 he was 6–8 with a 2.98 ERA.

After suffering a sore arm, Stone was traded by the Giants with Ken Henderson to the Chicago White Sox for Tom Bradley on November 29, 1972.

In 1973, he was 6-11 with a 4.24 ERA, and was fourth in the AL in strikeouts per 9 innings pitched (7.04), and 8th in hit batsmen (7).

Stone was acquired along with Steve Swisher and Ken Frailing by the Chicago Cubs from the crosstown White Sox for Ron Santo on December 11, 1973.

Jim Kremmel was also sent to the Cubs to complete the transaction one week later on December 18.

1974

In 1974 he was 8–5 with a 4.14 ERA.
