Louis Richard (Steve) Evans (February 17, 1885 – December 28, 1943) was a right fielder in Major League Baseball.

[2] In an eight-season major league career, Evans posted a .287 batting average with 32 home runs and 466 RBI in 978 games played.

During one game, he took the field holding a parasol, then sat on a stool before lighting a cigarette.

However, when McGraw assembled a team for a 1913-1914 baseball world tour, he invited Evans to play.

Another baseball cutup, Germany Schaefer, also joined that team, and McGraw may have invited them for their ability to charm the fans and relax their teammates.
