Larry Davis

Larry Davis went to work at the National Baseball Congress in 1950 as a part-time ticket seller and eventually became the right-hand man of legendary founder Hap Dumont. He was frequently a chauffeur for Dumont, who did not drive.

Upon Dumont’s death, Davis became director of the NBC World Series and handled the job for more than 25 years. He created Baseball ‘Round the Clock, in which baseball is played 24 hours a day over a weekend and fans who attend all the games are awarded prizes.

Davis died in 2000 in Wichita.
