Playing career[]
Eversgerd grew up a St. Louis Cardinals fan in Carlyle, Illinois.[1] Eversgerd, a pitcher, played college baseball at Kaskaskia College in Illinois where he would later be named to the community college's athletics hall of fame.[2] In June 1989, Eversgerd signed a minor league contract with the St. Louis Cardinals after attending an open tryout at Busch Memorial Stadium.[2] He made his Major League debut with the Cardinals in 1994.[1] Before the start of the 1995 season, Eversgerd was traded as part of a package to the Montreal Expos for Ken Hill.[3] After the 1995 season, Eversgerd was traded to the Boston Red Sox but would fail to appear for the big league club. With the Red Sox, Eversgerd met Mike Maddux, with whom he would later coach on the Cardinals.[4] After appearing for the Texas Rangers in 1997, Eversgerd would finally return to the Cardinals in 1998 before retiring from playing in 2000.[1]
