Over the weekend, a former Los Angeles Dodgers star died. Tommy Davis, the Dodgers’ former standout outfielder, died on Sunday night. He was 83 years old when he died.
Davis, especially early in his baseball career, was a terrific batter. In 1962 and 1963, he won back-to-back batting titles. The three-time World Series winner still maintains the single-season hits (230) and RBI records for the Dodgers (153). During the 1962 season, he set both.
During this difficult time, we express our heartfelt condolences to Tommy Davis’ family and friends.
Mike DiGiovanna tweeted, “The Dodgers have announced that Tommy Davis, who won back-to-back batting crowns in 1962 and 1963 and maintains single-season club records with 230 hits and 153 RBI, has died at the age of 83.”
