Johnny Evers out??? Unbelievable. The Human Crab was a helluva player and one of the best minds in the game in the early 1900's. Never mind that he helped drive the Cubs to their world championships, he was the force behind the Miracle Braves WS year in 1914. A great fielder, very good hitter and even though by all accounts he was a pain in the ass to be around, a deserving HOFer. He and Cocky Collins and Nap Lajoie were arguably the best 3 second sackers of the first 25 years of the 20th century.
