Byline: Jeff Davis
Aug. 28--It was 2004 and Leonard Davis made a decision that sent him in one direction and his brothers, Rodney and Marque, in another.
The brothers were household names in Dos Palos, where their football exploits put the Broncos on the state map.
Davis, a two-sport athlete, chose to continue his athletic career in baseball, while his brothers stuck with football. Rodney and Marque went to Fresno State, both had good careers, but never made it professionally.
Leonard starred at Fresno City as an outfielder. He became an eighth-round draft choice of the Washington Nationals in 2004 and finds himself in high Class A after a move up this season.
