A couple days ago, I wrote about an item I saw on Mr. UniWatch, Paul Lukas’ blog. That morning, he reported Adam Eaton had messed up the buttons on his uniform top. Since he is the internet’s resident jersey-aficionado, all I did was re-post the pictures he linked to and trusted that the information was correct.

Well, I learned a valuable lesson today folks, don’t trust everything you read on a blog.

I know, I was just as shocked as you.

As it turns out, Adam Eaton DID NOT, in fact, fasten his top jersey button in the second loophole. When I went back and looked at the screenshots, it appeared as if he simply tucked the top right flap of his jersey in. Afterall, if he did mess up the buttons, the ‘Phi’ on the right side would be horribly misaligned with the ‘llies’ on the left side.

I even went as far as to go back to the game tape and find out the specific instance in which this mishap occurred. It looks as if sometime during Corky Miller’s 2nd inning at-bat, Eaton must have reached up and tucked the flap in himself.

The shot on your left is right before Miller steps to the plate, the other was from the same at-bat, 2 pitches later. Notice the difference?

I highly doubt that within the span of two pitches, Eaton removed his glove from his hand, unbuttoned the second button, and refastened the top button into that same loophole.

So, Mr. Lukas, I believe you owe Adam Eaton an apology for saying his “Mama dresses him funny.” Thank you.
