Playing career


In 1901 and 1902, Eason finished with marks of 8–17 and 10–12, while pitching for second-division teams. Despite these losing records, he registered 3.59 and 2.61 ERAs respectively. His most productive season came in 1906, when he posted a 10–17 mark with a 3.25 ERA. It was Eason's last season as an active player. That July 20, Eason no-hit the St. Louis Cardinals 2–0. Earlier in the season, he had been the losing pitcher in the previous no-hitter to this one, by the Philadelphia Phillies' Johnny Lush on May 1. Not until Bill McCahan in 1947 would another pitcher hurl a no-hitter after being on the losing end of the last no-hitter before the one he posted.

In a six-season career, Eason posted a 36–73 record with 274 strikeouts and a 3.42 ERA in 951+1⁄3 innings pitched. He completed 90 of 114 starts, including ten shutouts.


Umpiring career


Eason is recorded as having umpired three games in 1902. After his retirement as a player, he worked as a National League umpire from 1910 to 1917.


Death


Eason died in a house fire in Douglas, Arizona, at the age of 91.
