Personal life. Furniss was raised in Nacogdoches, Texas, on a 36-acre (15 ha) ranch. His father, a medical doctor who practices family medicine, built Eddy a batting cage so that he could take 200 to 300 practice swings a day as a child.
As a sophomore, Furniss was named the SEC Player of the Year, as he batted .374 and hit 26 home runs with 103 RBIs, the most in the nation. He was also named a first-team All American as a designated hitter, as the Tigers won the 1996 College World Series (CWS).
Furniss graduated LSU with an academic major in zoology on a pre-medical track, and grade point averages above 3.5 in each of his last three years. He took his laboratory courses during the fall semester, so they did not distract from the baseball season in the spring semester.
The Pirates sent Furniss to play in the Arizona Fall League after the 1999 regular season. He played for the Altoona Curve of the Class AA Eastern League, the Pirates' new Class AA affiliate, in 2000, where he batted .239 in 121 games played.
Furniss sought to improve his physical shape for the 1998 season, and after losing weight, Furniss batted .403 average in 1998 with 27 doubles, three triples, 28 home runs, 85 runs scored, and 76 RBIs. He also set a career-high with 72 walks and a career-low in strikeouts with 40.
In 1996, he played collegiate summer baseball in the Cape Cod Baseball League for the Yarmouth-Dennis Red Sox, where he won the league's annual all-star game home run hitting contest. As a junior, Furniss batted .378 with 17 home runs and 77 RBIs. The Tigers repeated, winning the 1997 CWS.
Furniss attended Nacogdoches High School in Nacogdoches, Texas, where he played for the school's baseball team. In his senior season, Furniss had a .430 batting average, and was named to the All-State team. He had no intention of playing college baseball, expecting to study medicine in college.
Furniss, whose home run and RBI totals were the best in the nation, also was named a second-team Academic all-American with a 3.7 gpa in zoology. Furniss was the Pittsburgh Pirates’ fourth-round draft pick in 1998, and he played four seasons of minor league baseball prior to entering medical school.
Furniss, a 1996 consensus first-team all-American, was voted the ’96 Southeastern Conference Player of the Year after batting .374 (89-for-238) with a school-record 26 homers and an SEC-record 103 RBI.
He batted .377 with 25 doubles, 17 homers and 77 RBI.
Dr. Furniss graduated from the Mcgovern Medical School At The Univ of Texas Health Science Ctr At Houston in 2007. He works in Nacogdoches, TX and 2 other locations and specializes in Family Medicine. Dr. Furniss is affiliated with Nacogdoches Medical Center.
