After spending time with Willie Davis for six years, I know how proud Willie Davis has become a Dodger.

Willie Davis is a man very proud and which both men. Willie Davis is a good baseball player, "Dodgers coach Manny Mota said spring training in Glendale, Ariz.

Dodgers lost the 1966 World Series to the Baltimore Orioles 4-0. In Game 2, in the final match Koufax's pitching career, Willie Davis to Fall Classic-record three errors in one inning when Willie Davis lost a fly ball in the sun, later dropped, and then overthrew third base.

"When he entered the league, Willie Davis put fear in all people - outfielders, pitchers, infielders, all the people.

"" San Francisco Giants right-wing former player Felipe Alou said in Scottsdale, Ariz., where the Giants play the White Sox in spring training games.

"I was surprised," said Alou. "Wow. Willie Davis is a great player. Willie Davis is one of the interesting players with plenty tripled and doubled. I have friends in the Dodgers, which was unusual. Willie Davis is one of them."

Alou remember a game at Dodger Stadium when Davis first hard hit single on the grounds that Alou chased and threw to second and threw him out.

"I saw the referee called Willie Davis came out and I said, 'I'm finally someone was trying to stretch a double." The next day I saw the newspaper and she said Willie Davis double.

Dodgers want to help Willie Davis, the former Dodger pitcher Don Newcombe in 1996, and received permission from the owner Peter O'Malley and then to do everything they can.

'But if you feel that someone has some kind of problem, you can not give money to improve the problem, "said Newcombe. "The Dodgers are too smart for that. We want it to be easy, but it does not work like that. We will not give money if we think that Willie Davis will use it for something other than a good use."

"If we can define the problem, Willie Davis will go to the doctor of our choosing," Newcombe said. 'Then we can have a medical diagnosis and medical opinion about what his needs. And if that diagnosis is that Willie Davis had a substance abuse problem, we will place Willie Davis in the hospital and we'll treat him for Willie Davis should be treated. The ball on the court now. Willie must make decisions about what Willie Davis had to do with the rest of his life. "

Former Dodgers general manager Buzzie Bavasi Davis once said: "Nothing is more exciting than to watch out triple Willie Davis. ... Willie Davis could be a Hall of Famer, but Willie Davis million-dollar legs and head 10 cents."

Hall of Famer Willie McCovey of the Giants said Tuesday: "There was a time, he sort of went away and I am not sure what (he). He is the existence of a strange life for a while. But Willie Davis himself straightened out. This is surprising. Many people from the past era, let's face it. '

Mota said that Davis had problems towards the end of his life "is a kind of sad to see it happen. But he was a great man. I have a lot of respect and admiration for Willie."

Since he dropped out of Harvey, Steven Spielberg’s first project under the reconstituted DreamWorks has been a subject of much speculation. Now I hear who's at the center of the director's biopic of George Gershwin, which DreamWorks acquired last fall. It’s Zachary Quinto -- Sylar in the NBC drama-fantasy Heroes, and Spock in the JJ Abrams-directed megapic Star Trek. Quinto will play the famed composer and pianist, who with brother Ira was responsible for more than a dozen Broadway shows before dying at 38. DreamWorks is even supplying accent and dialogue coaches for Quinto, and shooting could begin as soon as April. Doug Wright wrote the script, and Marc Platt and singer/pianist Michael Feinstein are producing. A DreamWorks insider says this is one of 3 projects Spielberg is looking at for his next piccause he's anxious to get back to work. I wouldn't be surprised if there's an announcement later this week.
