Chris Davis Meets Young Red Sox Fan Whose Heartfelt Letter Helped Him Break Slump

Chris Davis met the young Red Sox fan on Saturday whose heartfelt letter helped him end his historic slump earlier this season.

Davis and nine-year-old Henry Frasca spent the afternoon together at Fenway Park. The Orioles first baseman recorded the longest ever hitless streak for a major league position player when he went 0-for-54 from September 15, 2018, to April 12, 2019.

On April 13, Frasca wrote Davis a letter and delivered it to an Orioles coach at Fenway Park. Davis read the letter and folded it up and put it in his pocket before hitting a first-inning single to end his slump.
