## Snapshot

A ballplayer friend of Jack's, blind in one sense or another, who turns up in schemes and letters as a steady, slightly hapless presence.

## Who they are

Evans is part of Jack's circle of teammates and correspondents, someone Jack writes about with the casual familiarity of a man who assumes everyone shares his view of things. He drifts through the baseball chapters and into the war ones, a reminder that Jack's world is small and repetitive. His role is to be there—another name in the box score of Jack's life.
