According to SABR when he was a young Brave he resembled Howdy Doody. Ted Turner liked nicknames and he once had the players nicknames stitched to the back of their jersey instead of their last names.

Two things from the article... Eddie Matthews spent hours hitting Evans grounders and spent a lot of time talking to him. Evans credits his greatly improved fielding to the Hall of Fame.

Evans and his wife saw a UFO in 1982 and led to the couple's belief in extraterrestrials and in a higher Power.

Bill James calls him the most underrated player in MLB history. I vote for Wally Berger.
