After jumping to the Twins from Class A, Braun spent six seasons in Minnesota playing every infield and outfield position while batting .284. In August of 1978, he tied a Royal record by reaching base eleven consecutive times. Braun developed into a top pinch hitter with the Royals and Cardinals, retiring with 113 pinch hits, sixth on the all-time list. In 1986, Braun became a coach in the Cardinal farm system. (FJO)

FROM THE BASEBALL CHRONOLOGY » June 27, 1972: Nolan Ryan (8-5) triples and scores the go-ahead run in the 7th as California beats the Twins, 3–1. Poor base-running in the 4th doesn't help the Twins cause: With Harmon Killebrew on 3B and Steve Braun on 2B with no outs, Nettles flies out to Spencer in left field. Killebrew fakes a dash to the plate and Braun starts from 2B. A relay catches Braun at 2B and another throw nips Killebrew at 3B for a triple play.
