This picture is the only time Eric Davis was caught with his eyes closed. His defense was every bit as electric as his bat. In center field for the Reds, he played with fearless intensity, explosive speed, and a cannon arm that made runners think twice. Davis didn’t just track balls, he attacked them, taking away hits in the gaps and turning routine singles into outs with aggressive routes and quick releases. He brought a wide receiver’s mentality to the outfield, changing games with momentum-shifting catches and throws, and setting a tone that defense mattered just as much as power in Cincinnati.

Eric Davis was an all-timer when he was healthy. 5 tool guy. Who knows how many steals he would have playing with today’s rules. Saw this at a card show today and couldn’t resist. I think a lot of us on here have dupes of his 85-90 run…I know I do!

Had a mini card and I ended up cutting out the background and replaced it with the Vernors back drop.

Landed this from a Walmart "mystery" box awhile back. Thinking of sending it in for grade - it looks really nice in person!
