David S. Collins (born October 20, 1952) is a former outfielder in Major League Baseball from 1975 to 1990.
Collins is one of three players to have made it to the major leagues who played for the storied Rapid City Post 22 American Legion baseball program in Rapid City, SD. The other two are Kelvin Torve and Mark Ellis.
Collins was drafted in the first round of the 1972 draft from Mesa Community College by the California Angels. He made his professional debut with the Angels Rookie ball team in Idaho Falls and moved up through the Angels farm system, with stops in Single-A Quad City and Salinas, Double-A El Paso and Triple-A Salt Lake City. He was dubbed "fastest white man in baseball" because he ran the 100 yard dash in 9.6 seconds and had high stolen base totals.
He made his major league debut for the Angels on June 7, 1975, playing left field and batting leadoff, against the Milwaukee Brewers. He recorded his first career hit the following day against Brewers pitcher Tom Murphy.

"Double Barrel" is a 1970 reggae single by Dave and Ansell Collins, the second reggae tune to top the charts in the UK, following two years after Desmond Dekker's No. 1 ska breakthrough hit "Israelites". The record, credited to Dave and Ansil Collins in both the UK and the US, reached number 1 on the UK Singles Chart for the first two weeks in May 1971. In the US, "Double Barrel" peaked at number 22 on the Billboard Hot 100 on 7 August 1971 and number 4 on WLS on 28 June 1971, two years to the week after "Israelites" peaked at the same position on the same chart.
Written and produced by Winston Riley, former vocalist of The Techniques, the single featured the vocals of Dave Barker, who had been recording in Jamaica for around five years, principally for Clement "Coxsone" Dodd and Lee Perry. From the very beginning of the cold intro, the lyrics are punctuated throughout by the rather unique claim "I am the magnificent W-O-O-O" (and variants thereof), but the title never appears. The song has been covered by later ska acts such as The Selecter and The Specials.

This piece of nonsense is specially written for the people of the Nottingham area and will probably be completely unintelligible to anyone else. My old English teacher said Nottingham folk had no dialect; they were just too lazy to speak properly. The song is therefore dedicated to him!
