Who knows? I never had him on scales, just going by the eye test. However much he weighed he was the kind of player you paid to see.

WINNER!

1987 with the Reds

On July 7th in his 69th game played Davis had 25 HRs' + 33 SB's and was slashing .314 .407 .682 1.090!
very impressive stat
And he did it clean too!

Davis was a skinny 165 lber
might have been on uppers!

Davis was electric from 86 to 1990...then the diving catch that hurt the kidney started the injuries...

What MLB player reached the 25 Home Run + 25 Stolen Bases Club the fastest doing it in 69 games played?
I promise I haven’t looked farther on this thread.

Here are my candidates:
Willie Mays (during his NY Giants days)
Willie Davis (1960’s Dodgers, but unfortunately home park for HR’s)
Joe Morgan
Ken Griffey, Jr.

I’ll make a guess and say Griffey Jr.

Aha! Totally forgot about Eric Davis. Fine ballplayer, but never would have guessed him.

Eric is listed at 165 lbs on baseball-reference which tends to use their weight during their best years.

Uppers don't add strength or speed like STEROIDS/HGH :wink:
