Stanley Bert Zukowski (June 4, 1885 – November 16, 1946), also known professionally as Steve "Rube" Grandy, was an American professional baseball pitcher. He appeared in one game in Major League Baseball as a pinch runner for the St. Louis Cardinals in 1907.

In 1901, Zukowski began pitching for the baseball team representing the Polish Seminary in Metro Detroit.[1] By 1902, he was the team's primary starting pitcher.[2] He also played soccer for the school[3] and, in the summer of 1903, played for an independent baseball team representing his hometown.[4] He pitched a fourth and final season for the Polish Seminary in 1904.[5]

After the college season ended, he was given a trial in August with the Grand Rapids club of the Central League.[6] He "did fairly good work" against Terre Haute, according to The Grand Rapids Press,[7] and reportedly earned a contract for the following season.[8] However, within days, he was pitching for an amateur team in Grand Rapids sponsored by Foster, Stevens & Co.[9][10]
