Davis was 21 years old when he broke into the big leagues on May 19,
1984 with the Cincinnati Reds, the team for which he is most remembered.
Blessed with a rare combination of excellent foot speed and bat speed,
Davis became the first major league player to hit at least 30 home runs
and steal at least 50 bases in the same season in 1987.
A series of injuries derailed his career as he moved to the Dodgers and
then the Tigers, and he retired in 1994. In 1996, Davis successfully
restarted his baseball career with the Reds and was named the comeback
player of the year. He moved to the Baltimore Orioles and, despite
fighting colon cancer, he had one of his best statistical seasons in
1998. Injuries again slowed Davis over the next few seasons and he
retired for good in 2001.
