Like many Orioles fans disappointed by years of failed attempts to sign free-agent superstars, let alone keep their own, Timothy Morris prepared himself for Chris Davis to be gone this season.
The Butchers Hill resident certainly did not expect to walk into the Orioles’ 25th home opener at Camden Yards on Monday and see the power-hitting Davis jog down the traditional orange carpet with reliever Darren O’Day and catcher Matt Wieters, also free agents last winter.
“Having Davis, Wieters and O'Day on the Opening Day orange carpet is great,” said Morris, a season-ticket holder.
