I also found this extremely tasteless when I was watching on TV. I know he sucked, but it's not like Eaton was a locker room cancer, or a criminal or anything of the sort. He was a class act. He accepted several demotions, including some all the way down to single-A ball.
He was awful with the Phils, but Eaton took his lumps and didn't lash out, and I can respect him for that. I'm sure I've made it well known here that most Philly fans feel like they have a reputation to live up to by being relentlessly abusive. Hell, everyone here knows them as the DWFs.
Totally unnecessary, classless, and embarrassing. I wish Adam the best of luck pitching for the Orioles this season, and beg his forgiveness on behalf of the idiocy of others.
