Jim Rice, I can not believe he is not in the hall yet.

Fans would show up early at Fenway, to watch BP. Not to see guys hit gumball lobs over the wall, but to watch Evans warming up his throwing arm from right field to third base. In a game, guy on first, ball hit to right, you'd hear a murmur start to rise, and if the runner on first rounded second and tried to go to third on Evans' arm, you'd have everyone on their feet. He and Clemente had the most accurate guns from right field that I ever saw, even better than Barfield's. I would have like to have been around when Carl Furillo was playing, though--old timers say his arm was the best-ever.
