1960 Topps #301 Jerry Davie
About Jerry Davie
Jerry Davie was a right-handed pitcher who spent seven years working through the Detroit Tigers' system before reaching the majors. The Detroit native signed with the Tigers in 1952 and won 17 games for Class D Jamestown, then lost two seasons to military service during the Korean War. He climbed through the minors and starred for the 1958 American Association champion Charleston Senators, leading the league with a 17-5 record and a 2.45 ERA. That performance put him on Detroit's 1959 Opening Day roster. Davie pitched well in relief through April, then made his first start on May 2 against Washington, the same day Detroit fired manager Bill Norman. He rebounded with back-to-back wins in late May, including a complete game over Cleveland, before a rough June 9 outing sent him to Triple-A for good, finishing 2-2 with a 4.17 ERA in 11 games and a .400 average at the plate. His 1960 Topps card, issued after that lone big-league season, is the only mainstream card of his career.
