– The BBC's Steve Rosenberg is clearly the primary topic according to pageviews, with a monthly average of ~1,862 views per month over the past five years, compared to ~119 for the baseball player. A search for "Steve Rosenberg"+"BBC" on GScholar brings up 124 hits compared to 34 hits for "Steve Rosenberg"+"baseball". No point even talking about the GNews hits which are going to be swamped by results from the BBC's interview with Lukashenko versus practically no recent coverage for the baseball player.
 * Steve Rosenberg (journalist) → Steve Rosenberg
 * Steve Rosenberg → Steve Rosenberg (baseball)

Of course statistics should not be the only test, so let's look at subject of each page: one is a baseball player who played in the major league for less than three years (June 1988- May 1991) and who is of low, but not non-existent notability, since the main source in the article is Baseball-Reference.com, a statistic database, with some bare mentions in newspaper sources. The only actual WP:SIGCOV is the Sun Sentinel article and the Gainesville Sun article, which are both local newspapers.

By contrast the BBC Rosenberg is a very high-profile journalist who has now been prominent for getting on 20 years, and continues to be prominent now. His coverage in reliable sources spans years, and is in national/international-level sources, and continues.

Even allowing for recentism, it is clear that the BBC Rosenberg is likely to continue to be the primary topic per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC here for many more years, and as such should not be in the disambiguated page. FOARP (talk) 11:47, 6 December 2021 (UTC)

Date of birth
As noted by the IP editor here his birthday was announced by BBC Radio 4's Today on 5 April. They broadcast a recording of a piano piece he had specially composed, from about 08:56:11:. There is record of his birth registration at FreeBMD here. Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 08:21, 6 April 2022 (UTC)
