The Chris Davis hitless streak has mercifully ended

He used to be great, but is now a shell of his former self. His futility is so intense that it’s almost remarkable. Endearing, if you squint.
Hey, sounds a little familiar.
But thankfully for Davis and anyone invested in the other team that wears black and orange, the streak of hitless at bats is no more. A bases loaded single in the first inning on Saturday ended his 0-for-54 streak, an MLB record for position players.
