Byrnes signed with the D-backs in December 2005 after being granted free agency by the Baltimore O’s. The contract at the time was worth 2.5 million. Byrnes quickly became a staple in LF playing the majority of the 2006 and all of the 2007 season out there.....past, them trees. Byrnes was known for his hustle and lack of care for his body in the outfield as he would make spectacular, over the top plays. Let us not forget his gnarly front flip throws to home, bros. Also, his grit and hustle forced him to do “smart” things on the base path.
