  • Wilburn Edward "Eddy" Furniss III (born September 18, 1975) is an American retired professional baseball first baseman and designated hitter. A standout college baseball player for Louisiana State University (LSU), Furniss has been inducted into the College Baseball Hall of Fame, the LSU Athletic Hall of Fame, and the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame. He is the 10th athlete, and 2nd baseball player, in LSU history to have his number retired. With the LSU Tigers, Furniss was a two-time College World Series champion and a two-time All-American. He won the Dick Howser Trophy as college baseball's best player in 1998, and set Southeastern Conference (SEC) records in numerous offensive categories, including home runs and runs batted in (RBIs). He was among the National Collegiate Athletic Association's all-time leaders in home runs and RBIs at the time he graduated from college. Drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1998, Furniss played in their minor league system through 2000. He played for the Oakland Athletics organization in 2001 and the Texas Rangers organization in 2002. Unable to advance beyond Class AA, Furniss decided to retire from baseball and attend medical school. He graduated from the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston and completed his residency at John Peter Smith Hospital. He practices family medicine in his native Nacogdoches, Texas.

  • "When I was in high school I always planned to be a doctor and come back to Nacogdoches. The baseball was an accidental success, something I happened to be good at and so my plan was I'd do it as long as possible. I could always go back to being a doctor." (en)
