Glenn Davis, nicknamed “The Big Bopper,” was one of the premier power hitters of the late 1980s. Emerging as a cornerstone for the Houston Astros, he became a two-time All-Star and a key figure in their 1986 postseason run. Davis played for these teams during his career Houston Astros (1984–1990) and Baltimore Orioles (1991–1993).
Accolades: 2x All-Star (1986, 1989), Silver Slugger Award (1986), and 1986 NL MVP Runner-up (finishing behind Mike Schmidt).
Key Stats: Finished his career with 190 home runs and 603 RBIs. Notably, he holds the MLB record for the most career home runs without ever hitting a grand slam.
The Orioles Trade: He was the centerpiece of a famous (and often debated) 1991 trade that sent Steve Finley, Curt Schilling, and Pete Harnisch to Houston.
Often cited as his first “major” appearance, this 1985 Fleer Prospects card is shared with Joe Hesketh.

Did You Know? To truly appreciate what Davis did on a baseball diamond, you have to look past his raw back-of-the-card numbers and look at where he played. The Astrodome featured a massive outfield, heavy air conditioning that created inward-blowing drafts, and deep fences that completely suppressed power hitters.
Despite those daunting conditions, Davis put together a spectacular four-year peak from 1986 through 1989. He launched 116 home runs over that stretch, averaging 29 homers and 93 RBIs per season. His masterpiece arrived in 1986, when he blasted a career-high 31 home runs and drove in 101 runs, carrying the Astros to the NL West division title and finishing as the runner-up to Mike Schmidt in the National League MVP voting.
