Moonlight Graham

Chris Davis.

He's the Seahawks Equivalent of Moonlight Graham.

Who?

Moonlight Graham, played by Burt Lancaster in the movie Field of Dreams. The old doctor whose one shining moment in the majors was a 5 minute stint in the outfield at the end of a blowout, without ever getting a chance to step up to the plate.

One game played. No official at bats. Lifetime average 0.000.

Our version of Moonlight Graham, Chris Davis, is a back up full back who played in the New Orleans game to open last season, and got hurt on special teams.

One game played. No yards gained. No receptions. No touchdowns.

However, with Mack Strong getting older (as evidenced by his dislike of grunge and screechy rock and roll!) and Heath Evans now in Miami, this could be a year of higher activity and greater accomplishments for Mr. Davis.

Let's face it, he's got nowhere to go but up!
