About Eric Davis

Known for his incredible combination of speed and power, Eric Davis was dubbed "the next Willie Mays" by many in the baseball circle. Eric made his major league debut in 1984 with the Cincinnati Reds and would solidify his place in baseball history there, justly garnering the nickname "Eric the Red". For nearly a decade, Eric was synonymous with the franchise, eventually leading the Reds to a World Series title in 1990, characteristically giving up his body along the way by lacerating his kidney diving for a fly ball in game four of the fall classic. Eric would become an All Star in 1987 and 1989 on top of also earning a Gold Glove for his outfield heroics in 1987, 1988, and 1989.

Eric's path would eventually lead him to play for six teams during his illustrious career. However, Eric's most important feat was not nearly becoming the first 30/30 man or his astonishing career tally of 282 home runs, 934 RBI, and 349 stolen bases. Eric's greatest triumph came in 1997 when he defeated colon cancer in the middle of the season during his stint with the Baltimore Orioles.
