Before each at-bat against the Oakland Athletics, a loud “Come on, Chris” could be heard coming from my living room. I didn’t want to see Chris Davis break the record and I would like to think that no fans of the Baltimore Orioles wanted to see him break the record, but here we are.
With an 0-4 performance against the Oakland A’s on Monday night, in front of a sparse crowd at Camden Yards, Baltimore Orioles’ first baseman Chris Davis broke the major league record for the longest stretch of at-bats without recording a base hit, for a position player.
