Before the days of aluminum bats in college baseball, Jack Flavin came to IUP as a pitcher with promise, and he did not disappoint. He would pick up four letters and an award from the NAIA during his career.
On the field, Flavin was very difficult to score against. During the 1968 season, he finished the year with a 0.00 earned run average, which is the best in Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference history. He also ranks on the top of the list for the PSAC in career ERA with a miniscule 1.36 ERA.
After graduating in 1969, Flavin went on to pitch for the Lawrenceville Tigers semi-pro team, and helped win the Greater Pittsburgh League championship. He would then teach at the Diocese of Pittsburgh, and coach grade school basketball before retiring in 2002.
Flavin married his wife Carolyn, and the two had a daughter, Jennifer. He currently resides in Pittsburgh.
