Dwight Evans

Hit high in the air to right field.

Over toward the line goes Dwight Evans.

He's under it and makes the catch.

Maddox hustles back into first base and Mercer is out two down.

After second baseman Sandy Alomar, Alomar leaped over Harper coming in, but no chance to get a play at first base.

6-4 on the fourth down.

Banekas at first down, one away, and Dwight Evans the batter.

The right fielder had two for four last night, including his ninth home run of the year and his second in two days.

Carl Yastrzemski is at first base.

The right fielder is Dwight Evans for Boston, batting fifth.

Rick Miller is in centerfield.

At second base is Doug Griffin.

Fouled him that much of a cut at that one.

So Marischal is the master here in the first inning, and we have no score.

Top half of the second inning, Dwight Evans leads off for the Red Sox.

He's a .297 hitter for the year.

David, what's our card for this week?

Our card this week is card number 470, Dwight Evans, outfielder, first baseman for the Boston Red Sox.

Okay.

Dwight Evans.

And why are we talking about Dwight today?

This card came in as a request from Jonathan.

Thank you, Jonathan, for sending over a nice email.

He said that Dwight Evans was his father's favorite Red Sox player.

Carlton Fisk, suffering a slight injury, only pinch hit yesterday, will be starting behind the plate, and he'll bat seventh.

Dwight Evans will bat in the eighth spot, and he'll be in center field.

And Butch Hobson will bat ninth, and he'll be at third base.

On the mound, Ferguson Jenkins.

Center fielder now has to come in.

He's there.

And Dwight Evans has it.

To retire the side, we mentioned to you a moment ago that Evans played that ball off the wall in right field.

Something to the effect of a dumb, fat, bald-headed old man who didn't know anything about pitching as a way of apologizing tonight walks all the way over to the Red Sox dugout in full view of about 34,000 people and hands him a rose and says, Don, you're okay.

In right field batting eighth is Dwight Evans for the Red Sox and at shortstop batting ninth, Frank Duffy.

Pitching and on the mound right now, Mike Torres.

Here's the anthem.

Duffy at short.

Brohammer at third.

Jastrzemski, Lynn, and Evans the outfield.

Here's a swing and a shot.

The cleanup batter in center field, Tony Armat.

Dwight Evans will be in right field batting fifth.

The designated hitter batting sixth, Reid Nichols.

Dave Stapleton will be at first base batting seventh.

Whoa, gee-haw.

Yeah, that was there easier than cars, Bill.

Here's Dwight Evans leading off against Dave Rigetti in the second.

Rigetti gets the breaking ball in for a strike.

Catching tonight will be Duke Sims, a left-hand hitter, a catcher the Tigers picked up from the Dodgers a couple of months ago.

The Red Sox lineup is the same as it has been for the last several nights, with Dwight Evans again in left field.

I'm Dave Biden with Ned Martin and our engineer Al Walker, and I'll be back with the official batting orders and lineups right after this.

Well, the Baltimore Orioles, idle again tonight, remain in third place, two games off the pace in the American League East.

Carlton Fisk will do the

catching.

Dwight Evans will be in left field at head seven.

Doug Griffin will be at second base.
