Part 2/11:
At the forefront of right field snubs is Dwight Evans, who showcased remarkable consistency throughout his 20-year career with the Boston Red Sox. Despite amassing over 2,400 hits and 385 home runs, Evans struggled to garner votes, receiving only 5.9% in his first ballot—failing to meet the 5% requirement in subsequent years. His perceived lack of typical Hall of Fame milestones may have played a role in this oversight, particularly in a competitive ballot that included greats like Nolan Ryan and George Brett. Analyzing his defense and offensive production, it's clear that Evans was one of the most deserving players not in Cooperstown.
