For those who remember Willie Davis he was a good player but underrated. The early 60,s Dodgers seemed to be Willie and Maury Wills on base and Tommy Davis knocking them in and Drysdale and Koufax sealing the game. I can recall when he was on his downslide that the Expos traded for him and marketed their whole off season around him and he had a decent season but was definitely on his way down. He had a wierd career almost like Bill Buckner since he will probably be remembered for his 3 errors in one inning in Koufaxs last game in the 1966 WS than his overall play and his 3 Gold Gloves. CN
