Gerald Lee Davie (February 10, 1933 – April 7, 2021) was an American

player. He was a right-handed pitcher who appeared in one season (1959) and 11 games pitched in Major League Baseball for the Detroit Tigers. A Detroit

native, he stood 6 feet (1.8 m) tall and weighed 180 pounds (82 kg) during his pro career.

Davie signed with the Tigers in 1952, but it would take him seven years (including two in military service) to reach the big league level. He made the

innings of work. He took the loss in what would be a 15–3 thrashing^[1] at the hands of the Senators—the Tigers' 15th loss in 17 games. The catastrophic beginning of their season caused the dismissal of manager Bill Norman later that day.^[2]

The Tigers and Davie both rebounded after that defeat. Detroit rallied under new skipper

bases on balls

.

Davie retired after the 1960 minor-league season.

Davie died on April 7, 2021, in Haines City, Florida.
