Hall of Fame
Moyer was a two-sport athlete who played four years of varsity football and baseball on College Hill. On the diamond, he was an ABCA Second-Team All-American in 1962, also earning All NCAA District II First-Team honors in 1961 and 1962 while garnering honorable mention status in 1963, when he also served as a team captain. The shortstop was a three-time All-Mid-Atlantic Conference selection.
In his junior campaign of 1962, he hit for a .412 average, a mark that still ranks ninth at Lafayette for single-season batting average. He helped lead his squad to a 16-5 mark with the team narrowly missing a berth into the College World Series.
In his senior year of 1963, he, like Fente, was awarded the Pepper Prize. He also garnered Class of 1913 Award honors, given to a Lafayette student-athlete who has attained the greatest distinction both as an athlete and a scholar.
Upon graduation, he signed with the Chicago Cubs and played in six games for the Cubs' short-season affiliate. Moyer left professional baseball to attend medical school, graduating from the University of Pennsylvania Medical School in 1968. Moyer served in the United States Navy from 1969 to 1972 in Da Nang, Vietnam as a flight surgeon with the 1st Marine Aircraft Wing.
Moyer worked as the director of sports medicine with Temple University Athletics from 1978 to 2013. He also spent time with the Philadelphia Flyers (1976-78), the United States Olympic men's field hockey team (1978) and the Philadelphia 76ers (1988-90) as a team physician. Moyer has continued in his orthopedic practice, still seeing patients at Temple Health while also working as an NFL consultant.
Moyer, who serves as a professor of orthopedic surgery at Temple's medical school, was inducted into Temple's Athletic Hall of Fame in 2009 following a 1997 induction into the Pennsylvania Sports Hall of Fame. In 2015, he was awarded Lafayette College's George Washington Kidd Class of 1836 Award for distinction in his career.
