Jamie Moyer receives his honorary doctorate from St. Joe’s
Posted by at 11:07 am ET 16 Comments

From the Daily News last week, present tense’d to reflect the fact that it occurred yesterday:

Phillies pitcher Jamie Moyer and his wife, Karen, [received] honorary doctorates from Saint Joseph’s University on April 30.

The Moyers [received] degrees as Doctor of Public Service for their charitable work with the Jamie Moyer Foundation at a special academic convocation on campus.

“St. Joseph’s holds a special place in my heart and Karen and I are flattered to be honored by the university in this way,” said Jamie, a 1985 St. Joe’s graduate. “There are a number of great people who help make the Moyer Foundation’s efforts possible, so we dedicate these degrees to them and each child who has participated in our programs.”

A 1999 inductee into the school’s athletic hall of Fame, Moyer holds the school record for strikeouts in a season and ERA. He is the only baseball player in Hawks’ history to have his number retired.

  • Lou Marson’s love interest

    Jamie: “Come on Kar, how about a hand job?”
    Karen: “But Jamie, there’s people around.”
    Jamie: “Fine. See if I eat you out tonight.”
    Karen: “Ok…Just for a little though.”

  • His Dudeness

    Holy shit, Karen Moyer is a total MILF. Who knew the offspring of Digger Phelps would be so attractive.

    I’m not much into health food, I am into champagne.

  • The Duke

    Now I know why Jamie took that rubber home after they became the WFC’s

  • Phils Phan

    I want to hear the guy who used to announce those streetball shows on ESPN.

    “DA PROFESSA!”

    The Duke wins!

    And to add–

    I like how Jamie wore a normal cuffed shirt (i.e., no French cuffs). The guy is an ordinary dude.

  • Meat

    As a Temple grad, I take comfort in noting this common misconception: Jamie did not actually graduate from St. Joe’s, he left early for the draft (Baseball, not WWII) (He’s old).

  • Mark H SJU ’84

    But he did graduate from College. Indiana. Was with the Cubs at the time.
