Across the back of A’s left fielder Khris Davis is a tattoo of a B-2 stealth bomber.
The B-2 was a high-altitude, long-distance fighter plane, designed with a singular goal in mind: doing its job while remaining invisible.
“He’s a stealth ballplayer, and really always has been,” said Larry Eubanks, Davis’ coach at Deer Valley High in suburban Phoenix. “He’s a warrior and a guy you always wanted on your side, but he’s always cherished that under-the-radar ethos.”
Davis took Deer Valley to the Arizona state title in 2006, scoring the winning run in extra innings with a leadoff single and steal of second before coming around to score the walk-off run.
