Steven McNeely grew up in New England and played baseball in Little League, High School and American Legion baseball. He then went on to college but left early to pursue a career in professional motorcycle racing. He moved west in 1978 and met his future wife Patti at Lake Tahoe, married in 1982, and moved to Sacramento in 1985 where he started several successful businesses. In 1992 at a company Christmas party he met a fellow who played baseball in a small men’s league in Woodland California. With his very supportive wife’s encouragement, to “do something other than work” all the time, he joined WoodlandDavis Roy Hobbs, now Woodland-Davis MSBL. Steve played on the Knights with and against many of the players in Sacramento Men’s Senior Baseball. Many are Inductee’s in this hall of fame and have become life-long friends.
