Former White Sox outfielder Tommy Davis died on Sunday night at the age of 83 in Phoenix. The cause of his death wasn’t given.
Davis was a former two-time National League batting champion, and a member of three World Series clubs with the Dodgers.
He was acquired by the White Sox from the Mets on Dec. 15, 1967 by GM Ed Short. It turned out to be one of the worst trades he ever made and eventually, combined with other bad deals, led to his firing in September 1970.
