Time
to go and close-out former outfielder Brock Davis’ Major League career
with a 1973 career-capping card after he appeared in over a
half-season’s worth of games for the Milwaukee Brewers yet was left out
of the Topps set:
Davis had a very nice 1972 season for Milwaukee, hitting .318 with 49
hits in 154 at-bats, scoring 17 runs and driving in 12 himself.
Easily the best season of his sporadic run in the Majors, turns out
they’d also be the last, as he’d spend the next three years in the Minor
Leagues playing for four organizations before retiring for good after
the 1975 campaign.
Originally up for his first taste of the Big Leagues in 1963 with the
Houston Colt .45’s as a 19-year old, he went on to play parts of six
seasons over 10 years, hitting .260 with 141 hits in 543 at-bats playing
for Houston, Chicago Cubs and Milwaukee between 1963 and 1972.
