R.I.P. Willie Davis (1940-2010)

Rest in peace, Willie.

[William Henry] Davis, known as “3-Dog” for his uniform number and his speed on the bases, was a key member of outstanding Dodger teams during the 1960s that won World Series titles in 1963 and ’65 and the National League pennant in ’66. He batted .305 or higher for three consecutive seasons beginning in 1969.

And he still has more hits, extra-base hits, triples, runs scored, at-bats and total bases than any Dodger during their years in Los Angeles starting in 1958.
