It’s a dream come true. I get to play for my hometown team, the team I grew up rooting for. – Steve Clevenger
I’ve always been a guy who comes in not being guaranteed a spot and always fighting for a spot. Any time you’re in a camp, and you’re not a big money guy, you’re always going to be competing for a job. – Steve Clevenger
Whenever you get traded out and you are playing for a winning team, it’s always good. – Steve Clevenger

Anytime I can get in there, playing every now and then, and contribute some way, whether it’s throwing out a guy or calling a good game or getting a hit and RBI, it’s big. – Steve Clevenger
I grew up in a very culturally diverse area of America, and I am very proud to come from there. I am also proud that my inner circle of friends has never been defined by race but by the content of their character. Any former teammate or anyone who has met me can attest to this, and I pride myself on not being a judgmental person. – Steve Clevenger
Everybody has always put this on me, this label, that I’m not a very good defensive catcher. To me, I don’t see it that way. – Steve Clevenger
Opening Day was a big thing. I came to a lot of Orioles games. I grew up a couple blocks from here, so I was always coming down to the stadium. I always made it down for Opening Day until I was a little bit older and I had ball. But when I was younger, I always missed school. – Steve Clevenger
