From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia Stephen Louis Sax (born January 29, 1960 in Sacramento, California) is a former second baseman in Major League Baseball. He was a right-handed batter for the Los Angeles Dodgers, New York Yankees, Chicago White Sox, and the Oakland Athletics.
Sax was drafted by the Dodgers in 1978 and started his career off to a good start in 1982 by earning the NL Rookie of the Year award. Throughout his career, Sax was on the All-Star team five times and had a batting average over .300 in three seasons. He had great success on the basepaths, stealing over 40 bases in six seasons for a career total of 444 stolen bases.
Steve is the brother of another former Major League Baseball player, Dave Sax, who also played for the Dodgers.
Life after baseball
After Steve's playing career ended in 1994, he has been involved in various business ventures, including:
- Briefly ran for a seat in the California State Assembly 4th District as a Republican in 1996. Sax later dropped out of the race, when his divorce became publicized.
- In the mid-1990s, he was a part-owner of a nightclub and restaurant called the Twin Palms, located in Folsom, California.
- Worked as a baseball analyst on television.
- He now works as a financial consultant for Wachovia Securities, LLC, in their Roseville, California office. He has approximately 25 to 30 clients, including several athletes.
- He is also co-writing a book on athletes and finances because he hears about too many athletes who have been easy targets by unscrupulous people in the financial world.
- A black belt, he also owns a martial arts studio in Roseville.
