He was drafted by the Oakland Athletics in the ninth round of the 1983 MLB June Amateur Draft. \u00a0Steinbach made his debut with the Athletics on September 12, 1986. The big league backstop earned his first All-Star honors in 1988, his third year in the majors. For driving in both of his team\u2019s runs, he won the 1988 All-Star game\u2019s Most Valuable Player award. \u00a0He was also named an All-Star the following year (1989). Steinbach\u2019s Athletics beat the San Francisco Giants 4-0 in a best-of-seven series to win the 1989 World Series. Steinbach then earned his final All-Star honors in 1993. He achieved career-highs of 35 home runs and 100 runs batted in (RBIs) in 1996, his last year with the Athletics. Steinbach\u2019s last three seasons were spent as a member of his home state Minnesota Twins. \u00a0He retired following the 1999 season with a .271 career batting average and career totals of 162 home runs and 745 RBIs. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The first 1,000 fans through the gate on opening night will receive a complimentary 2019 Honkers magnetic schedule from Rochester Toyota.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In celebration of Steinbach\u2019s guest appearance, the Honkers are offering a special limited \u201cTerry\u2019s Ticket Package\u201d just for opening night that includes 4 tickets, 4 Honker Meals and a baseball for just $36 (Steinbach wore the #36 with the Twins) .
