This week, the 1988 All Star Game MVP...it's Terry Steinbach! Terry was voted the all star starter even though in his words he “wasn’t hitting worth crap.” He was the first prominent player to wear a c-flap helmet to protect his orbital bone. The New Ulm, Minnesota native played for the University of Minnesota (as a 3B) along with his 2 brothers! He was drafted by the Oakland Athletics, switched to catcher, played 14 seasons, made 3 All Star games, 3 straight World Series, and closed out a very good career back home with the Minnesota Twins!
