Hembrow Gets Call From Hall Sunday, May 11th, 1997 When you think about some of the greatest names in baseball history, Steven Hembrow's name inevitably pops up. The recently retired hurler, who struck out 2867 batters on his way to a 219-174 record, was a dominating figure on the mound, frustrating hitters and opposing fans everywhere. Now, Hembrow takes his rightful place among the greats in the Heartland Baseball League Hall of Fame. "I loved throwing the ball around with my dad back when I was a little kid," Hembrow recounted for the crowd at the ceremony. "It started out as a way to bond with him and as I got older and began to dream of being a big leaguer. He always encouraged me and never let me give up." Lifetime Steven Hembrow appeared in 612 games, hurled 3613 innings and put up a 3.91 ERA. He retired at the age of 43. |
