Darrell Evans

What gets me about Darrell Evans is the longevity. Twenty-one seasons in the majors, bouncing between the Braves, Giants and Tigers, is a grind almost nobody survives. I find it telling that a guy from Pasadena who started at third base reinvented himself again and again, ending up as a designated hitter when his legs gave out. That kind of adaptability is underrated. He never had the household-name shine of his era's superstars, but to me he's the sort of durable, do-whatever-the-team-needs player I respect more the longer I think about him. A quiet career built on showing up.
