Ryan Stewart Theriot ( /ˈtɛri.oʊ/; born December 7, 1979 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana) is a Major League Baseball infielder for the San Francisco Giants.
Theriot is the son of Randy and Mary Theriot, and has an older brother Wes and younger brother Austin. Both his father and older brother played baseball at Broadmoor High School.
Theriot graduated from Broadmoor High School in Baton Rouge, La in 1998. While there he played 3 seasons on the basketball team point guard and 4 season on the baseball team shortstop. He was a highly decorated baseball player, so he opted to not play basketball during his senior year of high school to focus on his baseball skills. While at Broadmoor he played along side with childhood friends, Mike Woods and Trae Duncan and together they set Louisiana High School Athletic Association history with becoming All American infielders from the same high school. They all later became 1st team All State for class 4A at third base, short stop, and second base, becoming the first ever trio to earn such awards. A shortstop in college, Theriot was converted to second base for his major league debut, but played shortstop throughout the 2007–2009 seasons. Theriot then was switched back to second base to make room for the rookie Starlin Castro, who took his spot at shortstop on May 7, 2010. Theriot has also played third base, right field, and left field.

We are the nameless, the only to survive.
We are the winners, who through the years have stayed alive.
We are the ones who never lost sight.
Years go by, and we remain... The few who know what's right.
For years we've waited, never letting go-
Now the time has finally come and all the world will know:
The secret, the message, the outcome of our strife;
Self-reliance, self-destruction... This is fucking life.
The message is blank. It doesn't say a thing.
You're not saving anybody but yourself.
Your life revolves around looking pretty for the "scene".
Locked within the shell
Of the frozen armor's mass
An answer to a question
That man's been searching for
Precious knowledge lies within
A craft of mystic origin
Rests with the spirit
Trapped within it's core
What is the truth
That we don't deserve to know
Why do they hide it away
To keep a man clueless
Is to keep him obedient
Oblivion leads mankind astray
Taken to a fortress
Of unknown location
The truth that never existed
Is waiting to be found
A key to life's sanctity
Awaits annihilation
Hidden away from the public eye
Locked safe and sound
Repeat chorus
Solo: Potash
Labeled as a Fallen Angel
That which we cannot see
What is so far and yet so near
Kept by those we obey and fear
Code named E.B.E.
Repeat verse 1
