<i>Hot Bay Area Olympians:</i> Jeff Stevens

As we approach the one-week mark of beating this Hot Bay Area Olympian horse day-in and day-out, these incredibly attractive high-achievers might start becoming somewhat redundant. Another day, another local hottie demolishing the international competition. So here's a twist on the formula -- how 'bout we feature a fellow who just single-handedly blew his entire team's chances of winning a gold medal?

And that would be Berkeley resident and Campolindo High gradJeff Stevens, a hunky, unshaven closer for the U.S. Baseball team who came in with a one-run lead in the bottom of the ninth against South Korea. He allowed pinch-hitter Lee Tak-keun a single up the middle, and then threw the ball over the head of first baseman Matt Brown in a pick-off attempt. Lee would go on to score the winning run and give South Korea the win.

Dude... you let the go-ahead run advance on a wild throw to first? How Berkeley.
