3/3: In his day job with the #BlueJays, Stieb's on a heater - seven straight complete games that'll have him 10-6, 2.61 by mid-month. This wild inning notwithstanding, Stieb will prove to be a steady American League All-Star Game fixture. Stieb's line: 1IP 1H 1R 0ER 2BB 0K 2WP

2/3: "The happiest I have ever been at an All-Star Game. was the one in '80 at Los Angeles. My parents, brother and a flock of friends from school days drove down from San Jose. and I got to meet comedian Jonathan Winters." - Tomorrow I'll Be Perfect

July 8, 1980 [P2] Stieb - the youngest pitcher in the ‘80 game - has a wild ASG appearance. Literally.📽️. He and #Royals catcher Darrell Porter are a nightmare pairing. Two wild pitches and a passed ball frame the T.V. discourse, Porter baffled by Stieb's otherworldly movement.🧵

2/2: Famous Jays journos Neil MacCarl & Alison Gordon give an okay score to what will turn out to be one of the worst teams in MLB history up to that time. At least they had just called up Stieb and had Alfredo Griffin co-winning RotY. Otherwise, the 53-109 is a franchise worst.

2/2: Stieb talked about the 1983 ASG start for a 1993 Baseball Digest feature, The Game I'll Never Forget. “There is a lot of excitement, the feeling that everybody in the country is watching… It’s an honor and you want to live up to the expectations.”

July 6, 1983: The Final Word (1/2) - And nothing says ‘having a great three-inning start against the best hitters in the world, wish you were here’ like a postcard from Comiskey Park. It’s only fitting Dave Stieb has the last words on the 1983 #AllStarGame. Read on:

3/3: For the first-place Blue Jays, yet to post a winning season in six tries, Dave Stieb's ASG starting assignment's a huge point of pride: the first player developed by the org to make MLB is a bona fide star. Toronto's first. The AL's best.

2/3: In the years before interleague play and hyperactive free agency, the All Star Game was a competitive, edgy pageant of pride between leagues. Stieb's 3IP start - there've only been six since, none since '94 - is a cascade of personal fulfillment.
