My Take

Johnny Evers was the kind of player who made baseball look like chess — small, wiry, and absolutely relentless, he was the brains of the most famous double-play combination in history: Tinker to Evers to Chance. The Chicago Cubs of the early 1900s were a dynasty partly because of him, with back-to-back World Series titles in 1907 and 1908, and he wasn't done — in 1914 he helped the "Miracle Braves" pull off one of the great comebacks in the sport's history. He played the game with an edge that bordered on combative, and honestly, I kind of love that about him. Baseball at the turn of the century was rough and raw, and Evers fit that era perfectly. Getting into the Hall of Fame in 1946, just a year before he passed, felt like baseball finally tipping its cap to a guy who gave everything to the game for decades.
