That's nuts. I remembered Sweet Lou having a bunch of Rookie cards, but forgot about Bill Davis.

Anybody know what happened to him? Injuries? Vietnam War?

He looked like a stud his first couple years of Minor League ball out of The University of Minnesota. Then he kind of falls off a little bit, looks like he's out of baseball in 1967. Comes back in '68, falls off a little bit more, and is out of baseball after a short stint with the Padres in '69, at the age of 27.
