Glenn Davis got help, went from tough youth to ML star

-
Image
After becoming a bona fide major league star by 1990, the Astros' Glenn Davis looked beyond his work as a baseball player and toward what he could do off the field, according to The Fort Worth Star-Telegram . He turned to kids, specifically building a home for underprivileged children in Columbus, Georgia, where he'd once played in the minors, having had a rough upbringing himself, The Star-Telegram wrote . "When I was younger, a lot of people held out their hand and helped," Davis told the Star-Telegram . "Where would I be without that? I don't know." Where he ended up was in a major league career that spanned a decade, slowed at the end by injury. Along the way, he hit 30 or more home runs three times and made the all-star team twice . Davis' career began in 1981, taken by the Astros in the first round of the January draft-secondary phase out of State College of Florida, Manatee-Sarasota . Davis started with the Astros in the rookie Gulf Coast Le...

"I'm glad it's over," Normand, who played his high school ball in Oregon, told the paper . "I want to give pro ball a shot. I want to go back to see what a real professional career is like.

Into his seventh season with time in the majors in July 1999, Trenidad Hubbard had found ways to get to the majors, but he continued to work to stay there.  He spoke to The Los Angeles Daily News then about everything he had been through. "I'm the guy who had the dream," Hubbard, then with the Dodgers, told The Daily News . "When I was growing up in Chicago, I was Rick Monday and Jose Cardenal and Ernie Banks. I  knew that's what I wanted to do, play baseball in a big stadium. I didn't know that for the most part, it's a struggle to get up here. Sometimes an even harder struggle to stay there." Hubbard ended up seeing the majors over a decade , getting into 476 total games and seeing 80 or more games in a season four times. Hubbard's career began in 1986, taken by the Astros in the 12th round of the draft out of Southern University and A&M College in Louisiana.

Carlos Hernandez played well as a starter for the Dodgers in 1994. In his first seven starts that year, he was 7 for 25, The Associated Press wrote . The problem for Hernandez was, those starts came few and far between . Hernandez was the backup catcher for the Dodgers, the regular starter was Mike Piazza. "I just want to play," Hernandez told The AP at the end of May. "You guys saw what kind of job I've been doing. If you don't get a chance to play every day, it's hard to prove what you can do. But I'm positive all the time, working hard every day and ready to do my job." Hernandez stayed ready to do his job in a total of 10 major league seasons . In only one of those seasons did Hernandez play in more than 100 games, getting into 129 in 1998. Hernandez' career began back in 1984, signed by the Dodgers as an amateur free agent out of his native Venezuela. He played his first two seasons in the rookie Gulf Coast League , hitting si...
