1993 Ultra #437 Mark Davis

1993 Phillies - Supporting Cast

Uniform Numbers: 43 (1980-1981); 48 (1993)
1993 Stats: Appeared in 25 games with the Phils, compiling a 1-2 record with a 5.17 ERA.
1993 Notable: Briefly appears in the video, Whatever It Takes Dude, clowning around with fellow reliever Larry Andersen.
How Acquired: First stint - Drafted by the Phillies in the 1st round of the 1979 amateur draft (secondary phase), January 9, 1979; Second stint - Acquired from the Atlanta Braves for Brad Hassinger, April 13, 1993
Phillies Career: 1980-1981; 1993
How Departed: First stint - Traded with Charles Penigar and Mike Krukow to the San Francisco Giants for Al Holland and Joe Morgan, December 14, 1982; Second stint - Released, July 2, 1993 (Signed with the San Diego Padres)

Mark lasted 2 ½ months with the Phils in 1993, replaced on the roster by Mike Williams in early July. A former Cy Young winner (1989), Mark's success with the San Diego Padres can be partly attributed to then Padres manager Larry Bowa, who named Mark the team's closer in 1988.
