Kenneth Davis: police officer, ballplayer
No matter where he was or what he was doing, former Cincinnati police Officer Kenneth Davis found a way to make baseball a part of his life.
He played the game as a kid in Cincinnati. He followed professional teams from afar when he fought in the South Pacific during World War II. And he played in the Negro Leagues for several years after the war.
"Baseball was his No. 1 passion," recalled his son, Kenneth Davis Jr.
Mr. Davis, the father of three, died Saturday. He was 72.
After reaching the rank of sergeant with the U.S. Marines, Mr. Davis returned home from the war and signed up to play pro ball. Since Major League Baseball was still segregated, he played in the Negro Leagues for the Philly Meteors and the Homestead Grays. In 1950, Mr. Davis returned to Cincinnati and joined the police division, where he became the first African American assigned to homicide. He retired in 1979 and opened a neighborhood bar, Ken's Tavern.
When his children were growing up, he spent many years coaching Little League baseball for his sons' teams.
He also leaves son, Paul Davis and daughter, Shelley Wilson, both of Cincinnati; five grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
