Arthur Willard Davis is an American former Major League Baseball first baseman who played for the Cleveland Indians from 1965 to 1966 and the San Diego Padres in 1969. The 6 ft 7 in, 215 lb Davis batted and threw left-handed, and signed with Cleveland after starring in baseball and basketball at the University of Minnesota. He began his baseball career in the Double-A Eastern League in 1964, and in his sophomore season he hit 33 home runs, batted .311 and drove in 106 runs for the Triple-A Portland Beavers in 1965. Recalled by Cleveland in September, he made ten appearances as a pinch hitter and counted a double among his three hits. He began and ended 1966 with the Indians, but spent most of the year in Portland. In 38 MLB at bats, Davis made only six hits, but one was his first Major League home run, against veteran Jack Sanford of the California Angels as a pinch hitter on September 9. Davis then spent the entire 1967 season on the disabled list after he ruptured his Achilles tendon while playing a pick-up basketball game in January.
