Biographical Information

Eric Cyr pitched five games in relief for the San Diego Padres, in June and July of 2002. In his major league debut, he faced Jason Giambi, Bernie Williams and Robin Ventura of the New York Yankees, getting them all out.

Cyr also had ten seasons in minor league, foreign and independent ball. His foreign experience was in the Venezuelan Winter League and the Chinese Professional Baseball League while his independent experience was with Les Capitales de Québec.

In 2001, Cyr plead guilty to a misdemeanor charge of sexually assaulting a 15-year-old girl after an incident on a flight from New Zealand to Los Angeles a couple of years earlier, when he was barely older than the victim. He spent 30 days in jail.

He pitched for Team Canada in the qualifiers for the 2008 Olympics, going 0-1 with a 8.18 ERA, taking the defeat in a game against Cuba that could have gotten Canada closer to the Olympics.
