Don Eddy (baseball)
Donald Eugene Eddy was a Major League Baseball pitcher who played for the Chicago White Sox in 1970 and 1971.
Eddy was drafted by the White Sox and made his debut with them on Sept. 7, 1970, pitching an inning of scoreless relief in a 7-5 loss to the Oakland A's at Comiskey Park. He appeared in 22 games for the Sox in 1971, all in relief, and was sent to the San Diego Padres on July 16, 1972, but did not pitch again in the majors and ended up with an 0-2 record for his career.
In Eddy's only plate appearance on September 30, 1971, he hit a double off Bill Parsons of the Milwaukee Brewers, making him one of the few big-leaguers to bat 1.000.
Eddy died on October 10, 2018, in Rockwell, Iowa, at his home, from pancreatic cancer.
