The legendary Los Angeles Dodgers player was born in New York on March 21, 1939. Since he was a student at Boys High School in Brooklyn, he never stopped dreaming of being one of the greats. He even played high school basketball with N.B.A. Hall of Famer Lenny Wilkens.

Everything changed in 1956. He was contacted by baseball legend Jackie Robinson. “My mother kept asking me who I was talking to,” he said in a 2019 interview, according to the Associated Press. “I pointed to the phone and she was able to read my lips as she silently told him in disbelief: It’s Jackie Robinson! I couldn’t believe that I was talking to one of my biggest idols, even though frankly I hardly even said a word.» Filed Under: Tommy Davis Dies
