Dr. Sivana had Dwight Evans on the correct team (Red Sox), but forgot that Evans was a White guy. A darn good player who barely missed out on the HOF.
Speaking of strong armed right fielders, I should have included Dave Parker of the Pirates. Now HE's black. Stargell was good to, but he was old by that time.
I'll never forget Parker's throw to home in the All-Star games, back when everyone took it serious. MLB management and players ruined baseball by chasing $$$, but it was inevitable.

Dave Parker was a really good player, for sure. I had several of his Topps rookie cards and sold them 30 years ago for a lot more than it cost in the bubble gum pack (IIRC, I got around $20 each).
I really do miss the golden era of MLB. I grew up living and dying with the fortunes of the "Big Red Machine". It was during the 1975 World Series I noticed what a great player Dwight Evans was.
