Walmart manager Robert Evans saw the first bullets fly during the shooting at his store last Saturday. Days later, he was honored at the El Paso Chihuahuas game for helping to save people from the shooter.
Standing in the bullpen, he said that when the El Paso shooting happened, the team was on the road and all he wanted to do was to get back and help. Radke said he hoped that the game could give people a respite from the grief and pain for at least a couple of hours.
The stands were about half full and already some were wearing “El Paso Strong” T-shirts. Those words were stenciled behind the mound as well and flashed on the scoreboard throughout the game. When in the fifth inning free T-shirts were thrown into the stands, Evans stood up and tried to nab one that sailed a few rows past him. There were the mid-inning promotions, including a race between a child and the mascot. A man had mixed results on a trivia contest shown on the scoreboard. During the game, Evans was engaged, coaching from his seat.He used to manage a youth T-ball team — and said he loves the teamwork baseball requires, which he says is applicable to so many parts of life.
