Everyone would like to play in their hometown, but right now I like Cincinnati, I like the way it's going. I'm happy. Eric Davis cincinnatihappyhometown Change image and share on social
I'd never heard of colon cancer. Baseball wasn't even important to me. I have a wife and two girls. That's what was important. The doctors told me and all I could say was, 'When are we going to get this thing out?' Eric Davis baseballcancercolon share on social
I'm being compared to the impossible. I never saw Mays, Aaron or Clemente play. What about the people I face every day? Tim Raines is the best? Mattingly is the best? Why not compare me to my peers? Eric Davis aaronclementecompare Change image and share on social
I know people are pretty well embarrassed just at the mention of colon cancer. Sticking a tube in you to find out what's wrong is not a nice thing. But I can tell them, a 30- or 40-minute test is worth it. We have to make them feel more comfortable about getting screened. Eric Davis cancercoloncomfortable share on social
I remember in 1990, there were five of us making $3 million a year. When guys passed us, we didn't cry. Why would we cry? You didn't get mad when someone got $6 million. Or $8 million. Eric Davis cryguymad Change image and share on social
I love the game, it's the greatest game on earth, that's why I can't understand all of this talk about trying to make the game better. People talk about the high strike zone and changing this and that. Why? To speed up the game? That's the beauty of baseball. There is no time element. Eric Davis baseballbeautychange share on social
Never give up and don't ask why because every situation does not need an answer. I'm a firm believer that I don't worry about anything I can't control. Eric Davis answerbelievercontrol Change image and share on social
I was fortunate to play for Pete Rose and have teammates like Ken Griffey Sr., Tony Perez and Dave Concepcion. I grew up in the game with a mature attitude. I've always known it was better to be seen and not heard. Eric Davis attitudeconcepciondave share on social
I was able to get operated on four days after I was diagnosed. It was just a matter of getting this baseball-sized tumor out of me. I reflect now on how lucky I was to be in the situation where I could get the best possible help and treatment. Eric Davis baseballdaydiagnose share on social
