2018 National Paid Signer - Dwight Evans

I continued on with my 1987 Topps theme when I bought a voucher to meet Dwight Evans.  He has two cards in the 1987 set, but my good friend, Gerard, hooked me up with one.

Evans also was cool enough to do a selfie with me, which was nice!

Evans (b. 1951) played in the majors from 1972 to 1991 for the Red Sox and Orioles.  He had 2,446 hits, 385 home runs and a .272 batting average.  He was a three-time All Star (1978, 1981 and 1987) and an eight-time Gold Glove Award winner (1975, 1978, 1979, 1981 to 1985).  His best finish in the AL MVP voting was third in 1981.

Surprisingly, Evans only appeared on three Hall of Fame ballots between 1997 and 1999.  He only received a maximum of 10.4% of the vote in those three years.  He may not be a Hall of Famer, but surely, he should have received more of a look.
