It’s done. We can finally put the issue to bed and never talk about it again, ever. Chris Davis finally recorded his long-awaited base hit and both he and the Baltimore Orioles (and fans) can celebrate the moment, say goodbye, and move on.
Chris Davis didn’t break his historic streak with just any hit. He did it against the Boston Red Sox, gave the Orioles a lead, and then did it again soon after.
Overshadowing a very hot start from Trey Mancini, early production out of Dwight Smith Jr. and other positives from the first few weeks of the regular season, all attention was on the streak.
