When I think of Mike Davis, I think of Eck and the 1988 World Series. Game One, one out away from an A’s victory, and Eck, Mr. Control, walked Davis. Kirk Gibson came in to pinch hit, and the rest is history. Eck seemed to have learned a lesson ... in 1989, he only walked 3 batters in 51 games, 57 2/3 innings.
