1967 Topps #298 Ron Davis
About Ron Davis
1967 was the best season of Davis' career: 94 games with the Astros, a .256 average, seven home runs, 38 RBI and 31 runs scored, all career highs. He appeared in the outfield for 80 of those games. This 1967 Topps card, #298 from the fourth print series, is his rookie card and captures him with Houston during that standout year.
Ron Davis was an outfielder who signed with the Colt .45s as an amateur free agent in 1961 out of Duke University. He debuted in the majors on August 1, 1962 at age 20, going 1-for-4 against the Braves, but appeared in only six games that year before returning to the minors. He came back to Houston in 1966 and settled in as a regular outfielder over the next several seasons, playing for the Astros, then splitting 1968 between Houston and St. Louis after a midseason trade, and closing out his career in 1969 with the Pirates following an offseason trade. His best season came in 1967, when he set career highs in games, hits, home runs and RBI. He reached the World Series with the Cardinals in 1968, going hitless in two games. Davis played five major league seasons in all, finishing with a .233 career batting average, then spent 1970 and 1971 in the minors with Pittsburgh's Columbus/Charleston Triple-A affiliate before his playing career ended. He died in Houston in 1992 at age 50.
