1990 Hall of Fame Inductees
|
Name | Category | Year Graduated | ||||
| Darrell Wayne Evans | Sports | 1965 | |||||
 Darrell
Evans hit 414 home runs in his 21-year Major League Baseball
career with the Atlanta Braves (‘69-‘76,
’89), San Francisco Giants (’76-’83) and Detroit Tigers (’84-’88).
His breakthrough year was 1973, his first of two All-Star seasons.
He hit 41 home runs for Atlanta, becoming part of the first trio
(Hank Aaron, Davey Johnson) to hit 40 or more homers for the same
team in the same season. He was on first base when Aaron hit his
historic 715th career homer in 1974, breaking Babe Ruth’s record as
the all-time home run king, a title he held for 33 years. Evans was
selected to the National League All-Star team for the second time in
1983, his final year with the Giants. He won his only World Series
championship in 1984, as a member of the Detroit Tigers, defeating
the San Diego Padres, whose second baseman, Alan Wiggins, was
another Muir grad. It marked the first time two players from the
same high school played against one another in a World Series. In
1985, at age 38, he became the oldest player to lead the league in
home runs and the first to hit 40 home runs in both leagues. He was
the second of three players (Reggie Jackson, Alex Rodriguez) to hit
100 home runs with three different teams. |
