I'd love to see Evans get in as well. As someone else mentioned somewhere on the forum, he was constantly overshadowed by one or more superstar teammates. When one or two of those retired or were traded, another one or two came right along to make sure Dwight was NOT in the spotlight! Honestly, for his personality, I think he was just fine with that. And everyone in Massachusetts loved the guy; rightly so. My kind of player, and person.
With Schilling, it's a lesson to all of us that a douchey personality will always be your worst enemy. Your achievements matter very little if you can't treat others with some modicum of respect.
