Davis delivers for D-Backs

Some folks tend to try to make a hero out of just about anybody with a sad story to share or because of a setback that a person managed to overcome.

Doug Davis, though, doesn’t want to be hailed as heroic.

He’s just a man - a decent one at that - who happens to have cancer and doesn’t want to let down his teammates…...

The left-hander, whose condition was diagnosed late in spring training, pitched five scoreless innings before allowing two runs in the sixth. He finished with seven strikeouts and tied a career high with two hits, including an RBI single, in collecting his first win of the season….......

Just thought I’d mention Davis has a .667 BA on the season and a 247 OPS+ Look out Micah Owings!!

1. Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Griffin (Vlad) Posted: April 09, 2008 at 08:30 PM (#2736675)

This article is a sham! Don't you know that pitchers are functionally helpless at bat, like newborn field mice?

Pitchers hitting. What's next, dogs and cats living together?
