Steve Kline is a Major League Baseball relief pitcher for the San Francisco Giants. Previous to that he had played for the Cleveland Indians (part of 1997), the Montreal Expos (1997-2000) and the St. Louis Cardinals (2001-2004) and the Baltimore Orioles (2005).

Known for his colorful sound bites, he has accused umpires of favoring the New York Yankees and has jokingly said he thought about putting one ump in the "Kobra Klutch."

During his first week of play with the Baltimore Orioles, Kline lashed out at his fellow teammates for not supporting him like his St. Louis Cardinals teammaters had ("I'm so used to Renteria and Jimmy running down my mistakes and picking me up.") and bashed his home fans ("There's nothing worse than getting booed at home. St. Louis fans are too good for that. They understand the game more than most people.").

Following a sub-par 2005 performance, Baltimore traded Kline to the Giants for set-up reliever LaTroy Hawkins.

Steve is married to Martine Pepin and they have one daughter, Audrey Jade.
