Dave Davenport was born on Thursday, February 20, 1890, in Alexandria, Louisiana. Davenport was 24 years old when he broke into the big leagues on April 17, 1914, with the Cincinnati Reds. His biographical data, year-by-year hitting stats, fielding stats, pitching stats (where applicable), career totals, uniform numbers, salary data and miscellaneous items-of-interest are presented by Baseball Almanac on this comprehensive Dave Davenport baseball stats page.
"Long Dave Davenport, a real pitching thunderbolt with any sort of backing, worked in a flock of games, apparently without injuring his sinewy, giraffe-like figure to any marked degree. Davenport seemed, barring some hard luck in the early part of the season, about as classy a speed merchant as any manager could wish to gaze upon." - Columnist William A. Phelon in Baseball Magazine (January 1917)
