The Bruins were dead in the water!

Lifeless!

The Garden natives were growing restless!

I was spewing venom!

The young Islanders and UMass-Lowell alum, Dwayne Roloson, were putting a severed Bear’s head in Boston’s bed. They were dominating the Bruins in every phase of the game.

Boston was a headed to another embarrassing blowout loss at home.

My remote control trigger finger was itchy. Flipping back and forth to the Gators-LSU game.

      Dwight "Dewey" Evans

      We honor Dwight Evans as the Boston Sports Then and Now Athlete of the Month. With the opening of the baseball season around the corner, the choice of “Dewey” Evans is fitting. He was a player who gave his all, all the time to the Boston Red Sox where he played from 1972 to 1990. He is one of the best players not in the Baseball Hall Of Fame.

      Dwight Michael Evans made an immediate impact in his professional baseball career by winning the International League’s MVP in 1972. With AAA Louisville, Evans had 17 hrs, 95 RBI and hit .300.

      Dewey was called up to the tail end of the ’72 season. On September 16th, he pinch ran and was 0-1 at the plate. He played 18 games and decent numbers during his call up. In 57 plate appearances, Evans had 1 hr, 6 RBI and batted .263.

      Dwight Evans called right field in Fenway Park his home. He was a defensive standout and offensively could hold his own.
