Ahead in the Count Former MU outfielder A DAM EATON finds his sweet spot with the World Champion Washington Nationals BY M I CHAE L ROTH

Editor’s note: Major League Baseball’s regular season had been postponed indefinitely due to the pandemic when Miamian went to press. While eagerly waiting to hear “Play Ball” once again, we offer this feature on former Miami outfielder Adam Eaton of the World Champion Washington Nationals.

WITH THE FINAL OUT RECORDED, Adam Eaton and his Washington Nationals were able to celebrate the franchise’s first World Series Championship on Oct. 30, 2019.
