Players in Pilot Uniforms

[Mark Costa]

I have been searching for this info but can't seem to find anyone who knows.
I have seen photos of three guys who appear in a Pilot uniform but who do not seem to appear on any spring training roster.

Corky Evans -- is this the same as Carlos Evans?
Larry Himes
Steve Williams

I am assuming these guys were from the 1969 Spring Training but have never appeared with a roster #. Anyone have any info on them???

Thanks.

Mark,

My sources indicate that Carlos Evans and Larry Himes, both catchers, played in the Vancouver Mounties Class AAA organization. The earliest information I have available is from the Vancouver Mounties roster for the month of April, 1969. No idea where Williams was playing. Of course that leaves three possibilities: Clinton Pilots, Newark Co-Pilots, or Billings Mustangs.

I think that Larry Himes became the G.M of the Chicago White Sox in the
1986-1990.
He has been GM of the Chicago Cubs in the 1990's after being fired from the White Sox. He was GM of the Cubs 1991-1994.

Williams played both infield and outfield with the Newark Co-Pilots

Evans played catching position with the Vancouver Mounties and with the Arizona Instructional League

Himes played catching and outfield positions with the Vancouver Mounties

This information is complete

Thanks to everyone for supplying this information. Does anyone know if Corky Evans is the same person as Carlos Evans??

Yes Corky is a nickname for Carlos - the same person.
