Softballing veteran Davis, 75, keeps playing past prime
KEEDYSVILLE AP Howard Davis at 75 remains a regular catcher for St Peter's Lutheran in the Keedysville Church League. He recalls a long career with highlights like a center-field homer off Max King and a moonshine-fueled rough era. He notes no warmup needed, only a love of the game that keeps him in the lineup despite aging.
