Steve Trout was nicknamed Rainbow by his high school teammates for obvious reasons...the Rainbow Trout. He was a flaky lefty who probably would have been nicknamed Dizzy if not for his father who already laid claim to the nickname. Dizzy Trout pitched for the Detroit Tigers and actually beat the Cubs in the 1945 World Series.

Steve displayed a little "dizziness" of his own when he pitched for the Cubs, developing a reputation for his offbeat personality. On road trips to San Diego he was known to challenge teammates to burrito eating contests at local Mexican restuarants.

Rainbow never quite lived up to the status of his 2-time all-star father, but he had a very respectable career, and was a big part of the 1984 Division champion Cubs team. He went 13-7 in 1984 and won his LCS start against San Diego. The Cubs rewarded him with a big salary, but he developed elbow troubles over the next few seasons.

When he showed signs he was back in 1987, he was dealt to the Yankees. He also later pitched for the Seattle Mariners. His record with the Cubs was 43-28.
