PHILADELPHIA -- People still ask Ben Davis about "The Bunt."
It has been 15 years since Davis bunted for a hit against Curt Schilling with one out in the eighth inning on May 26, 2001, spoiling the pitcher's bid at a perfect game against the Padres at Qualcomm Stadium. The bunt infuriated the D-backs because they claimed it broke one of baseball's unwritten rules. Davis disagreed. He bunted because Arizona had only a two-run lead, and by reaching base, he brought the tying run to the plate.
"It's crazy how many people still bring it up," Davis said Wednesday.
