During the off-seaon Cardboard Gods
will be posting twice a week as we
prepare more cards for 2010. Check in
with us on Mondays-Tuesdays and
Fridays-Saturdays.
Hailing from Augsburg College, a tiny
Division III school in Minneapolis, one
would think that Mike Davison would be
in the Auggies Athletic Hall of Fame---
but he is not. Evidently, even though
he is the
only Auggie ever to grace a
major league diamond; his
performance at the highest level did
not garner him enough respect to be
enshrined in their HOF.

Maybe it was because the lefty gave
up more hits (48) than the 38 innings
pitched while hurling in 32 career
outings for the Giants during the
1969-70 seasons. Or perhaps it is
because his wildness led him to walk
almost as many batters (22) than he
struck out (23) in the bigs. Possibly it
was because, when placed on a good
club such as the 1970 Giants, Davison
still was a losing pitcher going 3-5.

Hard to say; though it appears that the
Augsburg College Hall of Fame voting
committee is one tough cookie.


Editor's Note: That is one mean
looking George Foster on the card.
