The right-handed batter and thrower attended the University of Southern Mississippi.He played in one World Series in 1962, when the Giants lost to the New York Yankees.

He had 1142 career hits in 4427 at bats. He played in 1501 games in 13 years.After being a coach for a number of years, Davenport was made the manager for the Giants in 1985, but was soon replaced by Roger Craig after accumulating a 56-88 record. He became a Philadelphia Phillies coach in 1987. In 2006, Davenport was inducted into the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame.
