Why this card is awesome: Two words: THE GLARE.
Cool stat: Davis had 125 game-ending plate appearances. Of those, 10 were game-winning, including 9 hits (5 homers) and a bases-loaded walk. What I find interesting is that only 34 of the 115 PA's that ended a loss were strikeouts. That seems like a pretty low total to me, considering he was probably facing a lot of closers.
Oh and by the way, Chili Davis absolutely killed David Wells.

That looks more like a confused attempt to read a coach's sign than a glare.
Yes, I suppose that's a fair interpretation!
Okay Andy...I'm going to try and comment on each card in the 88 Topps set that was at one time in their career was a Twin.
Chili was a huge part of the 1991 championship season. 1991 was the first year Chili became a full-time DH.

Always loved this guys passion for the game and his ability to drive in runs. Made it to WS 3 times winning all 3 times...WINNER.......
George Genovese, the scout who signed Chili Davis and is mentioned on his 1988 Topps card, is a legend. If you count up all his players, he had almost 4,000 home runs in the big leagues.
