Bill James: Dwight Evans is a Hall of Famer

Share

A little over a year ago, Mike Giardi and I -- Mike did it first, on TV, then I chimed in on the Web -- made a Hall of Fame case for Dwight Evans. The video is out of our system so I can't link to it, but my story is still around. I never thought it would really convince anyone who doesn't think Dewey's a Hall of Famer, but I believed, and believe, that there's a Evans-to-Cooperstown case to be made.

So you can imagine my delight (and Mike's, too) when none other than Bill James made a far more detailed argument in Evans' behalf on grantland.com, with the conclusion: "I think Dwight Evans is a Hall of Famer."

Still not going to happen . . . probably. But, hey, people listen when Bill James talks.
