A private memorial for late Dodgers outfielder Willie Davis will be held on Tuesday morning at Dodger Stadium.

Davis, who played for the Dodgers from 1960-1973, was found dead in his Burbank home last week. He was 69.

Davis won three Gold Gloves and is the Dodgers’ all-time leader in hits (2,091), extra-base hits (585), at-bats (7,495), runs (1,004), triples (110) and total bases (3,094). His 31-game hitting streak in 1969 is the longest in franchise history.
