Mark Christopher "Ben" Davis (born March 10, 1977), is an American former professional baseball player, who played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the San Diego Padres, Seattle Mariners, and Chicago White Sox, between 1998 and 2004. Davis began his career as a promising catcher, but 2001 was the only season in which he played in more than half of his team's games. He was nicknamed "Big Ben", during his time with San Diego, because of his towering presence, standing 6 feet 4 inches (1.93 m) tall, weighing 195 pounds (88 kg).[1]
After returning to the Minor Leagues for several seasons, Davis converted to pitching, in 2008.[2] for parts of three seasons, before retiring in 2011. He currently works as a color commentator for the Philadelphia Phillies and lives with his wife, two sons, and two daughters in West Chester, Pennsylvania.
