Eric Keith Davis (Born in Los Angeles, CA on May 29, 1962-) was a highly touted Major League outfielder whose career was often hampered by a series of injuries and other health concerns. The Cincinnati Reds took Davis in the 8th round of the 1980 amateur draft, debuting for the team during the 1984 season. From 1986 to 1990, he began cultivating superstar status by averaging 30 home runs and 40 steals, garnering regular MVP support, and finishing in the top 10 for home runs in the National League. During Game 4 of the 1990 World Series, Davis lacerated a kidney while diving for a ball … an injury that would require surgery and mark the beginning of a series of health concerns for the ballplayer. After eight seasons with the Reds (1984-1991) – which included two All-Star appearances and three Gold Glove Awards — a continuous string of injuries resulted in his trade to the Los Angeles Dodgers (1992-1993) and then to the Detroit Tigers (1993-1994). Davis sat out the 1995 season before returning to the Reds (1996) with a .287 average while belting 26 home runs. Diagnosed with colon cancer before the start of the 1997 season, Davis finished his career with injury-shortened seasons with the Baltimore Orioles (1997-1998), St. Louis Cardinals (1997-2000), and San Francisco Giants (2001). He retired with a .269 average, 282 home runs, and 934 RBI.
