Later Life
Evers operated a sporting goods store in Albany, New York in 1923. The store remained open until 1994, run by Evers' descendants. However, Evers lost his money and filed for bankruptcy in 1936. He also worked as superintendent of Bleecker Stadium in Albany and spent time teaching baseball to sandlot players.
Evers suffered a stroke in August 1942, which paralyzed the right side of his body. He remained bedridden or confined to a wheelchair for most of the next five years. Evers died of a cerebral hemorrhage in 1947 at St. Peter's Hospital in Albany.
