Davis did not amass the home run numbers of some others on this list, but the dual-threat offensive weapon could hit for power and was a nightmare on the basepaths. In 1987, the apex of Davis’ career, he batted .293 with 37 big flys, 100 RBIs, 120 runs scored, and 50 stolen bases. He missed 33 games to injury that season. Had he not missed time, it would have been the first season in MLB history that a batter hit 40 home runs and logged 40 swiped bags in a single season.
(Ed. note: For a hot second there when Davis was really killing it, his 1985 Topps card had kids of a certain age thinking they’d be sittin’ pretty in a few years. Like with most cards of that era … welp. — Rich O’Malley)
