Good day all!
On the blog today, from my next WTHBALLS custom card release, a 1980 "Career-Capper" for underrated player Wille Davis:
Davis came up with the Dodgers as a 20-year old in 1960, just in time to
be a part of the organization’s great run which included two world
championships in 1963 and 1965, as well as a World Series appearance in
1966.
A speedster who racked up hits and had the occasional power, Davis finished his career with over 2500 hits, 182 home runs and 398 stolen bases, along with a nice .279 batting average in 2429 career games.
Though he played the first 14 years of his career in L.A., Davis would go on to play for five teams over the last four years of his career: Montreal Expos, Texas Rangers, St. Louis Cardinals, San Diego Padres and the California Angels in 1979 after a two-year absence from MLB ball in 1977 and 1978 when he played in Japan.
