By Mayoral proclamation Bruce Harrell, proclaimed today, May 31, 2024, as Alvin Davis Day in the city of Seattle.
The proclamation recognizes Davis as a “treasured Seattle icon, revered for his outstanding career with the Seattle Mariners” and for his “unwavering commitment to giving back”. It further acknowledges his “dedication and commitment to fostering the Seattle Mariners legacy and our Greater Seattle Community”.
Davis debuted with the Mariners on April 11, 1984, and went on to be named the American League Rookie of the Year in 1984 beginning his “remarkable contributions to the team and community”.
Davis was honored at a luncheon today and presented the City of Seattle Proclamation by the Voice of the Mariners, Rick Rizzs. Alvin will be recognized tonight before and during the Mariners game vs. the Los Angeles Angels, including by tossing the ceremonial first pitch.
