Along with Freddy Garcia, Adam Eaton was one of the Phillies off-season moves to help improve the Phillies starting rotation this season. Phillies.com has a list of 15 things about Eaton. The fact that he lives in a cabin in the mountains means he must be a good pitcher, right?
2. He lives in the Snohomish River Valley in a cabin in the mountains. During his free time, he fly fishes and occasionally goes snowmobiling, when there's actually snow. He lives near Roslyn, where the television show "Northern Exposure" was filmed.
7. In a freak accident, Eaton stabbed himself in the abdomen while opening a DVD package in 2001 and was scratched from his start the next day. "Yeah, I stabbed myself. At Christmas, my grandfather gave me a pocket knife with a two-inch blade. It was the first time I used it. [The package] was tough to go through, then, all of a sudden, it went through like butter. A two-inch blade only went in halfway, so I was pretty quick. You have to have a little fat, too [points to his belly], or I could've really hurt myself."
13. He once got thrown out of a game for hitting Albert Pujols with a 67-mph curveball.
