Steve Adkins was born on Monday, October 26, 1964, in Chicago, Illinois. Adkins was 25 years old when he broke into the big leagues on September 12, 1990, with the New York Yankees. His biographical data, year-by-year hitting stats, fielding stats, pitching stats (where applicable), career totals, uniform numbers, salary data and miscellaneous items-of-interest are presented by Baseball Almanac on this comprehensive Steve Adkins baseball stats page.
"The best way to make the rotation here (with the New York Yankees) is to be traded, make the rotation somewhere else and come back here as a free agent. If you have a bad game and aren't making $2 million a year, you can't pitch in the big leagues. It's troubling some of the guys staying here, and I'm going. There are people who haven't done as much as I have to warrant a longer look. Six innings wasn't a fair chance to make the team. There were indications I would get a fair chance. I was doing what they wanted. I was keeping the ball down and not walking batters. I was pretty surprised. With the starters they have here, they said I wasn't going to get the innings. If that's the case, it was useless to be here, but it's still hard to swallow. To have your whole career judged on one month is sort of ridiculous." - Steve Adkins in The Sun Sentinel (Craig Barnes, 03/21/1991, 'Yanks Adkins Demoted, Says He Wants Trade', Source)
