Default OT: perennial rookie
Can someone remind me which player it was who was identified by Topps as a rookie for like 4 or 5 consecutive years? I want to say it was someone in the 1960s.

I think it’s Bill Davis 1965-1969.

Lou Piniella was also on rookie cards in 1964, 1968, and 1969.

This is the exact card run that came to mind for me as an answer to the question.

Thanks, guys. Bill Davis is the one I was trying to remember. How could I forget such a distinctive name?

That's nuts. I remembered Sweet Lou having a bunch of Rookie cards, but forgot about Bill Davis.

Anybody know what happened to him? Injuries? Vietnam War?

He looked like a stud his first couple years of Minor League ball out of The University of Minnesota. Then he kind of falls off a little bit, looks like he's out of baseball in 1967. Comes back in '68, falls off a little bit more, and is out of baseball after a short stint with the Padres in '69, at the age of 27.

He was hurt in 1967. In the off season he injured his Achilles and missed the season. The Indians had told him before the injury he would be their starting 1B. In 1969 he was the Padres starting 1B against righties, but got off to a slow start and was replaced by Nate Colbert who he was platooning with. He was a top prospect for whom things just didn't line up. He had 5 Topps cards, all Rookie Stars cards.
