Eric Davis talks about working for the Reds
Injuries didn’t stop him from owning a special place in the hearts of Reds fans. His home run off Dave Stewart in the opener of the 1990 World Series set the tone for a stunning four-game sweep over the Oakland A’s. Stewart said the home run overshadows his other accomplishments, but he understands why people always ask him about that home run.
“I understand that,” he said. “I also understand that Riverfront (Stadium) only held 54,000, but I think over 300,000 people have told me they were at the game.”
I loved Eric Davis as a kid. He was a freakish force of nature. His 1987 injury at Wrigley Field turned me into a Cub hater forever as the fans doused him with beer as he laid on the warning track, hurt.
