Stephen Alexander Biras (February 26, 1922 – April 21, 1965) was a Major League Baseball second baseman who played for one season. He played for the Cleveland Indians from September 15, 1944 to September 26, 1944.
Biras played in only two games. He debuted on September 15, 1944 against the Detroit Tigers, pinch hitting for pitcher Ray Poat in the fifth inning with Cleveland trailing 5-0. Against Detroit pitching ace, and 1944 American League MVP Hal Newhouser, Biras singled in his first Major League at bat. This game would be Newhouser's 25th victory in a season in which he won 29 games.
Biras' last game came on September 26 in an 8-3 loss to the Washington Senators. Biras came on as a substitute for second baseman Ray Mack, and made one fielding error, one putout and one fielding assist for a fielding average of .667. In his lone at bat in the game, Biras hit a single off of Dutch Leonard, driving in two runners (RBI's).
