About The Author

Dwight Evans

Dwight ‘Dewey’ Evans was one of the best outfielders in baseball throughout his career and one of the most popular Red Sox players of all-time. Evans was a three-time All Star, eight-time Gold Glove Award winner, won two Silver Slugger Awards, and was a key player on two legendary American League championship Boston clubs. When Evans retired from the game, he was ranked among the Red Sox all-time leaders in games played, home runs, and runs batted in. Evans was inducted into the Boston Red Sox Hall of Fame in 2000. He and his wife, Susan, have given a great deal of time and support to the Neurofibromatosis Northeast charity organization.
