[edit] Biography

Willie Davis (William Henry Davis) was born on April 15, 1940 in Mineral Springs, Arkansas. He made his Major League debut on September 8, 1960 for the Los Angeles Dodgers. In 1961, his rookie year, he hit .254 with 12 home runs and 45 RBI. Davis played for the Los Angeles Dodgers, Montreal Expos, Texas Rangers, St. Louis Cardinals, San Diego Padres and California Angels over the course of his 18 year career.

There is some disagreement on what was Willie Davis's most productive season. Some believe that it was 1962, when he slugged 21 home runs, stole 32 bases, hit for a .285 average and knocked in 85 runs. However, others believe that it was 1970, when he stole 38 bases, hit for a .305 average and knocked in 93 runs.
