Superb image of Danny Clark, thank you.
Attached is a 1924 image of Joe Evans with the St. Louis Browns.
Right handed batter Joe Evans began his 11 year Major League career in 1915 with the Cleveland Indians with 138 plate appearances spread over 42 games. During the course of his career, he played more games at third base (280) than at any other position. However, he did appear in 307 total games in the outfield, mainly in left field (184).
He remained with the Indians through 1922, establishing himself as the starting third-baseman in 1917, normally hitting 7th. He remained a starter in 1918 but his appearances reduced from 132 games to 79. Larry Gardner took over as the Indians starting third baseman in 1919 and Evans continued as a reserve for the rest of his stay in Cleveland but never reappeared at third-base during that period.
On joining the Senators in 1923 he appeared in over 100 games for the second and final time in his career, primarily as a back-up outfielder. He then represented the Browns in his last 2 years in the Majors, all in the outfield.
