On This Day: January 4

1949
Joe Evers, the brother of Johnny Evers of “Tinkers to Evers to Chance” fame, passed away. Joe was a pinch runner for one game in Major League Baseball when he appeared for the New York Giants in 1913. In addition to this (very) brief appearance in the Majors, he played second base in the minor leagues from 1913 to 1924, spending half his career in Terre Haute, Indiana.
