First, of course, to Eric, my muse, my inspiration, the guy this site is about: for being a great ballplayer, having an incredible work eithic, a great attitude on and off the field, never-ending enthusiasm, for always looking like he's having fun playing ball, and for always being nice to the fans. And thanks for...everything.

Tony: For putting up with my devotion to Eric Byrnes, the A's, and baseball in general, for sharing my desire to have MLB Extra Innings, and for just being in my life. I love you.

Katie: For helping me out on my site(s), for joining in my love of baseball, and for admiring the water bottle, yet recognizing boundaries.

My step-dad Larry: for making me love baseball, even though he is a Yankees fan. Nobody's perfect.

Judy and Jim Byrnes, Tarah, and Eric's entire family: for so fervently supporting Eric and making him the person he is.

Billy Beane: For being a baseball genius, making the A's an incredible team despite the limited financial resources, and for waiting until I moved to the east coast to trade Eric.

The Diamondbacks: For believing in Eric and giving him a chance. I'm sure they won't be sorry!

Francis and Carrie: For donating some fantastic pictures and for being great A's fans and for keeping in touch even though I'm far away out of the loop.

Michelle: Thanks to our A's game sidekick/buddy for a whole bunch of great candid shots, including most of the ones in the 1972 uni. Hooray for Michelle's camera!!

RáQUêL: For some nice pictures.

A special thanks to Katie's scanner! And a very special thanks to Vanessa Morganstern for helping me get a certain magazine with a very nice picture.

Allison: For one of the great photo day pics and for being part of the Spring Training version of the Eric Byrnes Fan Club.

Gil: For some great game candids.

The Darry Kile "in memory of" picture came from Rick Ankiel Online.

Thanks to Nikki in PA, who I don't know, but who supplied a nice picture of Eric in the dugout in Pittsburgh.

Kristen's friend Liz: For supplying a couple nice pictures.

Also, thank YOU for being interested enough in Eric to check out this site.
