The White Sox made the 6'5" Davis their first pick and the 13th player chosen overall
in the June 1983 draft. The Red Sox, with the 19th pick, took
Roger Clemens. Davis
was rushed from high school through the minors and arrived ill-prepared in the majors
at age 20. Each year his ERA rose while his confidence dwindled. In his one brief
shining ML moment, Davis was the winning pitcher on April 21, 1987, when the White
Sox ended Milwaukee's 13-game winning streak to open the season.
