Jim Davenport

James Houston Davenport (August 17, 1933 – February 18, 2016) was an American professional baseball infielder and coach who spent his entire major-league career with the San Francisco Giants. A right-handed batter and thrower, he was listed at 5 feet 11 inches and 170 pounds. As a child his grandfather nicknamed him "Peanut" or "Peanuts."

Davenport was born and raised in Siluria, Alabama, the same town that produced future teammate Willie Kirkland, and not far from Willie Mays' hometown. He had wanted to play football for the University of Alabama, but having married after high school, he was ineligible under the school's policy against recruiting married players. He instead took a football scholarship to the University of Southern Mississippi, then called Mississippi Southern College, where he played quarterback and joined the baseball team. In 1954 he hit .439 for the Southern Miss baseball team.

In addition to his playing career, Davenport managed the Giants for one season in 1985 and served as a coach in various capacities for nine years across three separate terms with the organization. In all, he spent 51 years with the San Francisco Giants.
