1967 Topps #519 Ted Davidson
About Ted Davidson
Card 519, from series 6 of the 1967 Topps set, depicts Davidson with the Cincinnati Reds. It followed a spring training in which he was shot three times by his estranged wife outside a Tampa lounge, an incident that made national news and sidelined him for months. Davidson recovered from his wounds and returned to the Reds bullpen that September, though he pitched only nine games the rest of the season and was never quite the same pitcher afterward.
Ted Davidson was a left-handed relief pitcher for the Cincinnati Reds and Atlanta Braves from 1965 to 1968. Born in Las Vegas and raised on a cattle ranch near Santa Maria, California, he signed with the Reds as an amateur free agent in 1960 and worked his way up through the club's minor league system as a starter before converting to relief. He debuted in the majors at age 25 on July 24, 1965, entering a game against the Houston Astros and immediately inducing future Hall of Famer Joe Morgan into a double play. His most active big league season came in 1966, when he logged over 85 innings out of the Reds bullpen relying on a sinker, curveball, slider and knuckle changeup rather than an overpowering fastball. In March 1967 he was shot three times by his estranged wife outside a Tampa bar, an incident that drew national attention; he recovered and returned to pitch that September, but was traded to the Atlanta Braves in June 1968 and was out of the majors by season's end. He died in 2006 in Bullhead City, Arizona.
