Glenn Earle Davis (born March 28, 1961 in Jacksonville, Florida) is a former first baseman in Major League Baseball who played with the Houston Astros (1984-90) and Baltimore Orioles (1991-93). He batted and threw right handed. He was part of arguably the worst trade in Baltimore Orioles history in 1991, when he was traded to the Orioles from the Astros in exchange for Steve Finley, Pete Harnisch, and Curt Schilling.[1]

In a 10-season career, Davis posted a .259 batting average with 190 home runs and 603 RBI in 1015 games.

He also played in Japan for the Hanshin Tigers as "Glenn" from 1994 until June, 1996, because there had been few players who played as "Davis", and there were negative images to "Davis", for example, a former player for the Kintetsu Buffaloes, Richard Davis, was arrested for having cannabis in 1988.

In 1992, Davis founded The Carpenter's Way home for troubled children in Columbus, Georgia.[1] He currently serves as an elected city councilor for the city of Columbus.[2]
