Career

From 1975 to 1978, Sax attended James Marshall High School (now known as River City High School) in West Sacramento, California. In the ninth round of the 1978 MLB draft, the Los Angeles Dodgers selected Sax. Sax was a late-season call up in 1981, playing 31 games. Sax made the National League Rookie of the Year award in 1982, when he first broke into the majors as a regular. Sax was on the All-Star team five times and had a batting average over.300 in three seasons. He had a great deal on the basepaths, stealing over 40 bases in six different seasons in six separate seasons, with a total of 444 stolen bases. His best year in 1986 was perhaps a 1987-based batting average, 210 base hits, and 43 doubles, as well as winning a Silver Slugger Award. He also set the Yankees' most singles in a season (1791) in 1989).

Sax has two World Series rings, both with the Los Angeles Dodgers in 1981 and 1988. During his time in the Players Association, Sax was also a top-up.

Steve Sax was inexplicably incapable of making regular throws to first base in 1983, making 30 errors that season, despite being one of the top field second basemen in the league. In baseball, this is referred to as "Steve Sax Syndrome," the fielder's spin on "Steve Blass disease," named after a Pirates pitcher who suffered from a similar breakdown of basic mechanics (also known as "The Yips"). Fans behind the first base dugout began wearing batting helmets as mock defense as his accuracy suffered. Pedro Guerrero, an outfielder who pressed into service at third base in 1983, had "I hope they don't hit it to me," his first thought, while his second was "I hope they don't hit it to Sax." Sax appeared to be completely "cured" by 1989, leading the American League in both fielding percentage and double plays.
