Favorite Player Collection: Eric Dinyar





Eric Dinyar was a lights-out closer for the Lakeland Tigers in 1996. He broke the team record for Saves that year with 27, before injuries shut down his career. After his career, he went back to school, at Pitt-Johnstown, and was elected into their Hall of Fame in 2014.
I saw Eric pitch many times in 1996, and I was able to get his autograph on a pennant and 2 baseballs that season. On the pennant, his autograph is above the "G" in the orange Tigers, and on the second baseball, you can barely see it in blue.
