We remember Dave May (1943-2012)


Image result for dave may brewers images
Dave May was born in Delaware on this day in 1943.   He broke with the Orioles in 1967 but had a very difficult time getting playing time on a team that had Frank Robinson in right, Paul Blair in center and Don Buford in left.    He was also behind Marv Rettmund and Curt Motton, a couple of other very promising young players.

In 1970, May was traded to Milwaukee and that's where he enjoyed some good seasons.   His best year was 1973:  .303 average, 25 HR & 93 RBI.  

Nevertheless, he will always be the answer to a great trivia question.    After 1974, Dave May was traded to Atlanta for Hank Aaron.

May retired after the 1978 and died in 2012.    He was a fun player to watch as I recall.
