Stephen Karari Larkin (born July 24, 1973 in Cincinnati, Ohio) is a former Major League Baseball player and the younger brother of Barry Larkin. He played in only one game during his time with the Cincinnati Reds, batting against José Silva in a game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. He attended Moeller High School like his brother but spent most of his baseball career in the minors.[1]
In 1994, he was drafted in the 10th round by the Texas Rangers and began playing in the minors for the Low-A Hudson Valley Renegades, and then for the Single-A Charleston RiverDogs in 1995. He also played thirteen games for the Winston-Salem Warthogs that same year. In 1996, he played for the Single-A Charleston AlleyCats for half a season and again for the Winston-Salem Warthogs and stayed on with the latter for the 1997 season, as well. In 1998, he was called up from the minors, then playing for the Chattanooga Lookouts, for his game with the Cincinnati Reds. Stephen Larkin played first base, his brother Barry played shortstop, while fellow Reds Brett Boone played second base and his younger brother Aaron Boone played third base making the occasion the only time in baseball history that two sets of siblings were on the field at the same time. He spent the 1999 and 2000 seasons, the final years of his career, with the Lookouts.
