Since
arriving in San Francisco in August 2002, Scott Eyre has
been making a difference both on and off the mound. He
has been especially active in promoting awareness of Attention
Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, a condition with which
he has been afflicted. After being diagnosed with AD/HD
in early 2002, Scott freely shares with the public his
experiences living with AD/HD. In January 2004, he partnered
with Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine for a
two-hour live “Ask the Expert” chat, focused
on his journey with AD/HD. Each year, he visits the Charles
Armstrong School in Belmont, which teaches dyslexic learners.
He also participates in the Giant Wives Auction, helping
to raise more than $25,000 for the Giants Community Fund,
Comfort for Kids and the Step to the Plate Foundation.
He served as the spokesperson for the National Multiple
Sclerosis Society and attended their Read-A-Thon party
in 2004. He also supports the Parent Education Network,
a coalition of parents working with educators to help
bring success to children with learning difficulties.
During the off-season, Scott visits several schools in
his Florida hometown and hosts baseball clinics for local
kids.
In
2004, Scott Eyre set a single season record for left-handed
pitchers with a career-high 83 appearances. His workload
tied for tenth most outings by a southpaw in Major League
history. Since 2002, he has stranded 80.1% of inherited
runners.
