  • Troy Baseball Legend, Evers
    Baseball Across New York Troy Baseball Legend, Evers By Craig Muder At 5-foot-9 and 125 pounds, Johnny Evers might seem out of place with the 200-pound infielders on today’s big league baseball diamonds. But in the first years of the 20th Century, the acrobatic Evers excelled at the “Inside Baseball” style of play that domi- nated the time – featuring bunting, stolen bases and hit-and- runs – and led his teams to four National League pennants and three World Series titles. Born in Troy, on July 21, 1881, Evers – a name that rhymed with “beavers” though he came to also accept the pro- nunciation that rhymed with “feathers” – made his big league debut at the age of 21 in 1902 with the Chicago Cubs. Evers established himself as the Cubs’ starting second baseman in 1903 – teaming with shortstop Joe Tinker and first baseman Frank Chance to form one of the best infield combinations of the era. In 1906, the Cubs dominated the NL from start to finish, winning 116 games against only 36 losses. The 116 wins have been matched since only by the 2001 Seattle Mariners, and no team has matched the Cubs’ .763 winning percentage of 1906. Evers hit .255 that season, but drove in 51 runs and stole 49 bases. His spectacular infield defense – combined with that of Tinker, Chance and the other members of the Cubs – resulted in Chicago allowing just 381 runs for the entire season. The Cubs lost the 1906 World Series to the White Sox but Johnny Evers won the Fall Classic in 1907 and 1908.
