Time to go ahead and give long time Red Sox star outfielder Dwight Evans, aka "Dewey" a "dedicated rookie card" in the 1973 set:
His rookie card in that 1973 set was a shared slab alongside two
other promising players: Al Bumbry (eventual 1973 A.L. Rookie of the
Year) and Charlie Spikes.
But it was Evans who was about to start a wonderful 20-year Major
League career, 19 of which were with the Boston Red Sox patrolling their
outfield alongside guys like Yastrzemski, Lynn and Rice, and enter some
arguable Hall of Fame talk by the time he
was done..
He appeared in 18 games during the 1972 season to get his first
taste of the big leagues, but was here to stay once 1973 got going.
By the time he retired after the 1991 season, he collected over
2400 hits, 480 doubles, 380 homers, 1300 runs batted in and 1400 runs
scored, all while posting a .272 batting average.
Oh yeah, he also went and took home eight Gold Gloves for his
defensive work and had four years of top-10 MVP finishes when voting
came around.
Funny enough it wasn't until he reached 30 years of age that he really started raking!
Beginning in 1981 (at 29 years old), he started putting up big time
numbers, including four 100+ RBI seasons, five 25+ home run seasons and
four 100+ runs scored seasons, the ONLY times he'd do ANY of that in
his career!
Amazing.
