Despite coming up with the Chicago Cubs as a shortstop, Johnny Evers was placed at second base by manager Franks Selee, where he would remain for the next decade. He was one third of the famed Tinker-to-Evers-to-Chance double play combination that helped lead the Cubs to World Series titles in 1907 and 1908. Oddly enough, according to Evers himself, Tinker threw a speedball at Evers to turn a play, bending his finger back, to which Evers called him out. "He laughed. That's the last word we had…." The duo did not speak for years, but were all in for the team. "Tinker and myself hated each other," Evers said, "but we loved the Cubs." That attitude helped enshrine them both in Cooperstown.
