S2 EP 9: Eric Davis

The Talkin’21 podcast welcomes South Central LA native and 2005 Cincinnati Reds Hall of Famer Eric Davis. If you followed his phenomenal career, during the mid-1980s and 1990s, he literally DEFINED what a five-tool player is in Major League Baseball. He was phenom. And he listened and learned from some of the best ballplayers in the history of game. They mentored him on every facet of the sport. But unfortunately injuries and a bout with cancer slowed what truly would have been a HOF-bound career. But the baseball numbers didn’t define who “E.D.” or “Eric the Red” would eventually become. Today, he’s a teacher, not a coach in the Cincinnati Reds organization and he proudly tell our listeners WHY winning the Roberto Clemente Award in 1997 means so much to this 1990 World Series champion, 2 x All-Star, 2 x Silver Slugger Award and 3 x Gold Glove Award winner. He keeps it “real” and you’ll definitely laugh with this episode. Guaranteed.
