1967 Topps #370 Tommy Davis
About Tommy Davis
Davis's series-4 card #370 carries the same number Topps gave him in 1965, but a different uniform: a November 1966 trade sent him and Derrell Griffith to the Mets for Ron Hunt and Jim Hickman. The season behind it was his last in Los Angeles, a .313 average over 100 games with only 3 home runs and 27 RBI in 313 at-bats. The Dodgers were swept by Baltimore in that year's World Series.
Herman Thomas Davis Jr. was born March 21, 1939, in Brooklyn and signed with the Brooklyn Dodgers for a $4,000 bonus after a personal phone call from Jackie Robinson steered him away from the Yankees. He won minor-league batting titles at Kokomo in 1957 and Spokane in 1959, then struck out as a pinch hitter in his only September 1959 at-bat. He became the first Los Angeles Dodger to win a batting championship, taking the National League crown in 1962 at .346 with 230 hits and a franchise-record 153 RBI that broke Roy Campanella's 142, then repeating in 1963 at .326 for the only back-to-back pair in the club's Los Angeles history. A broken and dislocated ankle on May 1, 1965, took his power but not his bat, and he kept hitting for ten organizations across eighteen seasons, among them the one-year Seattle Pilots. The designated hitter rule revived him in Baltimore, where he batted .306 in 1973 and collected 181 hits in 1974 to win that season's Outstanding Designated Hitter Award. He finished with 2,121 hits and a .294 average in 1,999 games, then worked as a Dodgers minor-league instructor and as the Seattle Mariners' hitting coach in 1981. He died April 3, 2022, in Phoenix at 83.
