Dryer shares thoughts on tattoos

Matt Dryer didn’t know what to expect from the fans of York when he first suited up for the York Revolution last season.

But it didn’t take long for Dryer to discover that Yorkers are his type of people. And the town feels the same way about him.

Now, Dryer returns to the Revs as arguably the team’s most popular player. He earned the respect and admiration of fans last year for his hustle and easy-going attitude while his rock star-like status in town grew by the day. By the way, he has a new wrinkle to his act this season. Dryer grew his hair down to his shoulders over the offseason.

The University of Miami product took some time in spring training last week to tell Dispatch photographer Bill Kalina and myself about his tattoos. The stories are pretty interesting.

Also, Dryer is off to a pretty good start offensively in spring training. Despite recovering from offseason labrum surgery on his throwing shoulder, Dryer has had at least a hit and scored a run in all four of the Revs’ spring training games.

After you check out the Dryer video, check Sunday’s post on new infielder Kenny Perez. Also, kudos to Bill Kalina for the fine editing job on the video.
