Junior Seau Back With The Patriots 0

Junior Seau is back with the New England Patriots.

Junior Seau is back with the New England Patriots.

A move that had become increasingly expected in recent days finally became official on Wednesday when 40-year-old Junior Seau re-signed with the New England Patriots.

While Seau is a sure-fire Hall of Famer and has appeared in 12 Pro Bowls, it has been many years since he has been among the elite of the game. His last appearance in the Pro Bowl was in 2002, the final of his 13 seasons with the San Diego Chargers.

He then spent three seasons with the Miami Dolphins before being released in the spring of 2006. He signed a ceremonial contract with the Chargers and announced his first retirement on August 14, 2006.

After just four days, Seau decided retirement wasn’t for him and signed with the New England Patriots. He started 10 games before breaking his forearm making a tackle and missing the remainder of the season.

      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.
