Gerald Sidney Davis (born February 22, 1953) is an umpire in Major League Baseball.
Having worked in the National League from 1982 to 1999, he became a member of the unified umpiring staff for Major League Baseball in 2000.
He has been a crew chief since 1999.
He has umpired five World Series, nine League Championship Series and eleven League Division Series.
He has also worked in the All-Star Game four times.
Davis has worn uniform number 12 throughout his career.
As of the start of the 2019 season, Davis is MLB's second-most senior umpire (after Joe West), although Davis has the longest uninterrupted tenure due to West being forced to sit out two seasons (2000-01) after the failed mass resignation strategy of former Major League Umpires Association executive director Richie Phillips in July 1999.
Davis, along with all National League umpires at the time, tendered his resignation, but rescinded it, and was not chosen as one of the 22 MLB umpires to lose their jobs by commissioner Bud Selig and MLB executive vice president Sandy Alderson. Davis' 2019 crew consists of Greg Gibson, Brian Knight and Pat Hoberg.
