BEST, Inc.

With college back in session, it's a good time to remind you what all about... Our students!

Lindsey is one of our success stories. When her mother became incarcerated, Lindsey thought she'd have to quit school and take care of her siblings. In 2016, BEST stepped in and provided Lindsey with not just a to attend college but a whole support network to make sure she would graduate and achieve her dreams.

As a graduate of Kutztown University of Pennsylvania, Lindsey earned a bachelor's in Social Work and then attended Rutgers University to earn her master's degree.

Check out Lindsey's story from this year's BEST Scholars Celebrity Meet & Greet held on July 20, 2025 at DeSales University. For more information on BEST visit our website at www.thebestscholars.org

Old School ⚾️ Dyar Miller wore a professional baseball uniform for 51 straight seasons. He has several championship n World Series rings. Dyar has been inducted to Indiana Sports n Rochester Red Wings Hall of Fames ⚾️

For all of the pitchers on Facebook please “share” so many of his players may read it.

Dyar was 1 of 14 kids to graduate from his Indiana small town high school - New Point

As a catcher, Dyar attended n graduated from Utah State. He was able to play for the Phillies for 1 seasons. They released the catcher with the strong arm because of his weak bat.

Dyar was substitute teaching when Jim Frey came into his school n knocked on his classroom door. Jim was with the Orioles n would go onto manage the 1980 Royal to the World Series. Jim signed Dyar to the O’s to pitch !

Dyar learned the art of pitching over the next 7 seasons in the minors. Then 1 day the 29 year old was given the news = you’re going to the show as a 29 year old rookie.

Dyar didn’t look back for the next 7 years with the O’s, Angels, Blue Jays n Mets. As luck would have it, his next 3 seasons were with the Cardinals organization in the minors - where he switched to coaching at age 38.

For the next 28 seasons, Dyar became a highly respected pitching coach - 19 of those years with the Cardinals.

After his 51st season, it was time to go back to Indianapolis n spend more time his pretty wife, Bertha of 31 years.

If you r reading this as a fan or player, please leave a comment - for Dyar is one of thee most beloved men of the game. It was a pleasure spending 2 days with him.

For the collectors - Dyar has donated his cleats, ballclub shirts, jerseys n travel bags to The BEST, Inc. - the BEST Scholars - for their auctions to raise $ for the 18 kids they sponsor through 4 years of college. Contact me privately if you have interest.

Just another example of Dyar thinking of others first 💕 ⚾️
