When healthy, Davis could do it all, posting careers highs of 120 runs in a season, 37 home runs, 101 RBI, and 80 steals (getting caught just 11 times).

Though he played parts of 17 seasons, he never played more than 132 games in one year, and topped 100 games just seven times due to various injuries, including a lacerated kidney suffered in his Reds’ 1990 World Series clincher.
