If you follow your sports through the ESPN-hype machine only, then you maybe just fine with the Celtics sneak-away win today at Madison Square Garden. Fact is, today’s performance was more of the same from the Celtics. erratic play, poor shooting, and veterans just looking plain old.

Our worst fears came true Sunday afternoon as the C’s recent offensive woes had spilled over to the defensive end of the court. Zero communication had translated to bad help defense, on some plays– no help defense. Again, our guys made a down right poor team look decent.

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.
