Biographical Information

Dave Stegman hit 2 home runs on May 16, 1984 as a member of the Chicago White Sox against the Kansas City Royals. He started the game batting 7th and playing center field. Both home runs were against Larry Gura. The White Sox lost the game 7-6. On May 8th of that year, he became the only player to ever have 8 at-bats in extra innings in one game, as White Sox defeated the Milwaukee Brewers, 7-6, in 25 innings. He had not started the game, but had come in as a pinch-runner for Greg Luzinski in the 8th and stayed until the end of the game. In the 23rd inning (played the next day following a curfew after 17 innings, he led off with a single - his only hit of the game - but was called out at third base on a rare call of coach's interference; he would have scored the winning run, as Vance Law followed with a single. He was the penultimate batter of the game, being returned while trying to bunt his way on to lead off the bottom of the 25th, before Harold Baines hit a walk-off homer.

He was with Team USA in the 1974 Amateur World Series and 1975 Pan American Games (Silver Medal; he led the event with 8 runs).
