RIP Michael K. Williams
Curt Davis
Born OTD in 1903, Curt Davis. Traded for HOFers twice. Once to the Cubs (for Chuck Klein), and once by the Cubs (for Dizzy Dean). Davis was known as Coonskin. He pitched for the Cubs for two seasons (1936-37) and was an All-Star. #everyCubever #hesinthere pic.twitter.com/cFR1j0LgHD
