About Jim Davenport
Card #82 in the 1964 Topps set, a series-one issue, reports Davenport's 1963 season with the Giants: a .252 average with 116 hits, four home runs and 36 RBI. He appeared in 147 games that year, more than in any other season of his career, and struck out 87 times, also a personal high.
James Houston Davenport won a football scholarship to Mississippi Southern College as a quarterback, hit .439 for the baseball team in 1954 and signed with the Giants after that season. He debuted on April 15, 1958, taking the franchise's first West Coast at-bat, a strikeout against Don Drysdale, and spent all 13 of his seasons in San Francisco. A sure-handed third baseman nicknamed "Peanut," a name his grandfather gave him as a child, he led National League third basemen in fielding percentage from 1959 through 1961 and played 97 consecutive errorless games from July 1966 to April 1968. His best season came in 1962: he played in both All-Star Games, won his only Gold Glove and helped the Giants to the National League pennant. He retired in 1970 with a .258 average, 77 home runs and 456 RBI, and his 1,130 games at third base are the most in Giants history. He managed the Giants for most of 1985 and belongs to the Mississippi and Alabama sports halls of fame.
