If you are like me and you still make consumption of the local daily newspaper part of your morning routine, whether you read the actual paper at the breakfast table or find the content on the mobile device of your choosing, you may have seen this whopper from The Baltimore Sun this morning, sporting the audacious headline: "An appeal to Chris Davis to stay in Baltimore and help this city."
The column, by Sun columnist Dan Rodricks, begins innocently enough as an open letter, with a winding ode to some of the greatest Davis moments in Baltimore, a harmless plea for the guy to stick around because Orioles fans like him.
