An alumnus of the Great Neck, New York, public schools, Davis, who was Jewish,[1] pitched for Yale University.[2][3] Davis earned a masters degree in history.[4]
[edit] Baseball career
Following the 1960 season, Davis was selected by the Los Angeles Angels in the 1960 Major League Baseball expansion draft for $75,000 ($583,000 today).[5][6] However, rather than report to the Angels, Davis retired and returned to Yale to continue his education.
