Watched him all year. First off Spanky is pure class. He wants to win every game every time. He’s the most exciting player we’ve seen in Reno since Ryan Roberts, and by far the most productive. Next year it’s going to be fun watching these young guys soar in Phoenix.
what is fun to watch is he plays as if every pitch is going to be his last….. true mark of a champion and class act. the way Eaton treats the fan base is what makes him a fan favorite, he is the last man off the field every night no matter if he is on the road or at home and doesnt leave until every kid has gotten to say hi or get an autograph. a lot of the players these days forget the fans, not spanky….. Fan Favorite for his style of play and his love for those who support him.
