Darrell Evans (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Darrell Wayne Evans (born May 26, 1947) is a former third baseman and first baseman in Major League Baseball who played from 1969 to 1989 with the Atlanta Braves (1969-76, 1989), San Francisco Giants (1976-83) and Detroit Tigers (1984-88). He is also the former manager and director of player personnel for the Victoria Seals of the Golden Baseball League. Overshadowed in his prime by fellow National League third baseman Mike Schmidt, he has been described by author Bill James as "the most underrated player in baseball history, absolutely number one on the list," primarily because his defensive skill, home run power, and ability to draw walks in a long career were offset by a low career batting average of .248.
