I remember this story because I was painting my house and was listening to the Royals. I think Hal McRae was manager. Anyway, we had a double header with Milwaukee. They send Mark Davis out to start. He gives up like six or seven runs in the first inning. McRae pulls him and tells him to get ready, because he's going to start game two of the double header because he only pitched an inning. Between games, Davis decides to shave off his beard and moustache. So in game two, a newly clean shaven Davis strides to the mound...
And proceeds to give up five runs in the first inning of the second game.
Gets bounced to the bullpen, and never starts again.

You sure about that? We signed Mark Davis after he won the Cy Young as the closer for San Diego for the same role here. Which he stunk at.
