I went to grammar school and High School (Brother Rice) with some Croatian friends. So I have been following Croatian heritage ever since I can remember. That’s why people couldn’t figure out why I have Diehl as my last name and Croatian GRB tattooed on my left arm. I grew up going to St. Jerome’s Croatian Catholic Church with my Grandmother. Her maiden name was Semanic and she was from one of the Croatian islands. I remember going to St. Jerome’s and having palacinke for breakfast. My grandmother married Grandpa who was Ante Bekavac from small village Bekavci near Lovrec in Imotski, Dalmacija, Croatia. My father Jerry who passed away in August was hundred percent German on both sides."

  16. ^ [15] "I also traveled this summer when I was scouting for Houston. I went to Croatia. I'm 100 percent Croatian, but I had no idea about my heritage. I came from a small family that didn't have any tradition passed down and didn't speak the language. I didn't know where I was from. I've had a couple of Croatian players and guys from that area tell me they thought I was from Brac, which is a beautiful island right across from Split. I assumed that's where I was from. I liked the way it sounded: "Where you from?" "I'm from Brac." It sounds cool. It sounds manly."
