Dirtbags Look to Help Former Player Eddie Davis LONG BEACH, CA-- Dirtbags helping Dirtbags. It's been that way since Dave Snow came to campus in 1989, and it continues today as current Head Coach Mike Weathers and Snow have sent a letter out to former Dirtbag players to help former player Eddie Davis, whose home and business were lost because of Hurricane Katrina. Davis, who played for the Dirtbags during the team's return trip to Omaha in 1993, was living in New Orleans with his wife and four-year old son when the Hurricane hit and safely evacuated to Houston. Though is family is safe, Davis lost his home, communications business and most of their belongs. Davis also established a baseball academy in the city, which is also on hold as he has relocated to Dallas, TX. Fans will remember Davis most notably for his pinch-hit, two-run homer against eventual National Champion LSU in the College World Series, as the Dirtbags came back with five runs in the seventh and eighth innings to defeat the Tigers 10-8 on June 9, 1993. Davis then signed with the Dodgers following the season. Players and fans who would like to help out Davis can send money directly to Eddie at: 4300 Horizon North Parkway #423, Dallas, TX 75287. He will be in Dallas at least for the next couple of months. |
