About Steve »

Steve Keegan worked as a photojournalist for 15 years on newspapers such as the Los Angeles Times, Napa Valley Register and Reno Gazette-Journal. He is an alumnus of the San Jose State School of Journalism, where he won several awards for his writing and photography.

While chief photographer of the Napa Valley Register, Steve regularly photographed the Raiders, A's and San Jose Sharks.

Steve left the newspaper world in 2003, and now freelances in the Lake Tahoe area.

Steve's primary sports of interest are baseball and hockey, and he has followed the Los Angeles Angels and Los Angeles Kings his entire life.

(My profile picture is of my childhood hero, Butch Goring, with his arm around me. I am wearing my "Mr. Bill" t-shirt and look like I just met Jesus Christ. An easy mistake considering Butch's 70's hairstyle. )

From an Islander fan: God bless Butch Goring.

The NY Yankees and the media are trying to manipulate you.

Yankee propaganda must be exposed as lies and crushed before it can spread any further.

Greetings Steve -

Enjoyed your first article on our favorite hockey team. Though my favorite baseball team are the boys in Blue, it does seem like we have many favorite players in common.

Excellent photo with Butch, I always say if it wasn't for the Kings, the Islanders wouldn't have won any Cups, what with us giving them Goring and Smith.

When you get a chance, please check out the following link as I would be interested in your feedback:

All the best!
