Biography

Thirty-second native Delawarean to play in the major leagues. Son Derrick played in the major leagues.

Best Game

May 15, 1973 - Cleveland Indians at Milwaukee Brewers.
Dave May's 1973 season is arguably the best offensive season compiled by a native Delawarean.
Throughout the season May was consistent, hitting for average and power game in and game out. In July
May put together a twenty-four game hitting streak, the longest ever by a native Delawarean. Even so,
May's game against the Indians was big. It was one of eight four-hit games May had in his career and
one of five such games he had in 1973.

Of his four hits, the biggest came to win the game. The Indians had scored in the fifth inning and the
Brewers were able to tie the score in the bottom of the eighth. For the next nine innings neither team
could plate a run until May came up in seventeenth inning. With one out, May put a Brent Strom pitch
into the stands to win the game for the Brewers 2-1. Of May's 96 career home runs, four of them,
including this one, ended games.
