My name is Khris Davis. I'm an outfielder for the Oakland A's, and for me, it all starts with my parents. They are my role models and taught me that hard work pays off. They also showed me that happiness is important and it's worth pursuing.
Mom was always there to take me to my games, and even if I didn't want to play that day, she would hold me accountable to show up for my teammates. She was willing to throw batting practice to me when I was little and think outside of the box by pitching beans to me.
