Chili Davis

Charles Theodore Davis
Batted: Both
Threw: Right
Height: 6'3"
Weight: 195 lbs.
Born: January 17, 1960 in Kingston, Jamaica
Drafted: 11th round 1977 by the San Francisco Giants

  

The first Jamaican ever to play in the big leagues, Chili took over as the Mets' hitting coach in 2019.  A respected leader as a player, he had a much better career as a switch-hitting outfielder (and later on, DH) than you remember, I bet.  For the last sixteen years of his career, he had over a 100 OPS+ (meaning he was a better-than-average hitter every season).  He was a three-time All-Star, and a member of three World Championship clubs.  He's shown here on a nice-looking 1994 Bowman card.  Several more cards are shown below.

This is a list of the cards of this player that I had in my Mets collection before I transferred the ownership of said collection to another diligent and capable Mets fan. The cards that are listed in light gray print and struck through are cards that were sold for charity prior to my divestiture.  The cards listed in white text are the ones that still remained until that final deal.  Items listed in green I kept out of the deal, just so I'd have something to display in my office and den.  At the bottom and listed in orange text are cards that I picked up after the dealing was done, in order to maintain a certain continuity at this site; that is, so I'd have a card to show you at the top of the page, and maybe in the autographs and game-used areas.  If an orange card is struck through, it has also departed the collection.  I’m still accepting donations, should you feel so moved.  Contact me by following this link: NYMHall.
