Scott Stein

It is with much sadness that we report the passing of long-time Eden Prairie Lion's Tap catcher, Scott Stein. Scott lost his battle with cancer on July 23rd at the age of 60

 

Scott was our dear teammate and catcher for 16+ seasons and his most treasured moment in Over-35 baseball was driving in the winning run in our state championship  1-0 victory over the St. Paul Saints in 1987.  Scott should have been an Eden Prairie cop, he caught so many guys trying to steal.  “I’m not sure I am much of a hitter – you want to DH for me?” Scott asked in our very first season in 1986. Oh boy: Scott ended up as one our leading hitters ever, a career .368 average.  

But more important than baseball, Scott loved his family first more than anything and that is the legacy he leaves with all of us.

Scott also loved his Gophers, where he played baseball for Dick Siebert and where his father, "Snapper" Stein served as the legendary trainer and member of Bernie Bierman's championship football teams of the 1930's.
