Steinberg's enduring fascination with baseball began in 1954 when LIFE magazine commissioned him to travel with the Milwaukee Braves (now Brewers). He described baseball as a "poetic, complex and subtle play of courage, good luck, mistakes, patience" -- simultaneously a metaphor for what it takes to succeed in the United States and as an artist.
