Dear Dietz,
The Man of Steel. The Ball Magnet. The Fan Favorite. These are just some of the nicknames you have heard during your playing time here with the Marlins. To me you have always been someone to look up to.
I remember when this all started. After every home game, you would be the one player that would come out and sign autographs or take pictures with fans. No matter what type of game you had or how late it was, you always had time for us. Because of that, I became a fan and you became family.
