Steve Stieb is the brother of major league pitcher Dave Stieb. When I saw Steve's batting record on baseball-reference.com, I was skeptical that he had received an invitation to a big league training camp, but catchers often have an advantage over other position players when it comes to spring camps. Steve was indeed a non-roster invitee with the Atlanta Braves in 1981.
The photo shows him for the most part in a Durham Bulls uniform, but he is sporting an Atlanta Braves cap. He is part of a group of Bulls meeting a teammate at home plate in celebration of a dinger that teammate has just hit. The photo is from the Durham Herald-Sun of August 7, 1980.

P.S. By the way, Lumpkin, check the page where you requested a photo of Ted Fisher. I found one.
