About Hoot Evers
Evers had his best year in 1950: .323 with 21 home runs, 103 RBIs and 100 runs in 143 games, and a share of the league lead with 11 triples. His .551 slugging average ranked third in the league. On June 23 he hit an inside-the-park home run off Joe Page, the 11th homer of a Tigers-Yankees game that set a record at the time. On September 7 he hit for the cycle and drove in six runs in a 13-13 tie with Cleveland. He was an All-Star and finished 11th in the American League MVP voting.
Hoot Evers was an outfielder who played 12 major league seasons between 1941 and 1956, most of them with the Detroit Tigers. He hit .314 in 1948, .303 in 1949 and .323 in 1950, and was an American League All-Star in 1948 and 1950; in the 1948 game he homered off Ralph Branca. Injuries repeatedly cut into a career that scouts had expected to be larger: a broken jaw in a June 3, 1946 collision with second baseman Eddie Mayo, and a beaning on June 29, 1947 that sent him to a hospital. He missed 1943 through 1945 to Army Air Forces service. On June 3, 1952 he went to the Boston Red Sox in a trade that sent four Tigers east for five players, and after a 1954 that took him from Boston to the Giants and back to Detroit, he closed out with the Orioles and Indians, ending with Baltimore in 1956. He totaled 1,142 games, a .278 average and 98 home runs. He later worked for Cleveland as a scout, coach and farm executive, then ran Detroit's player development from 1970 to 1978. He died in Houston on January 25, 1991.
