Davis throws balls to no one in particular at empty stadium

BALTIMORE -- Just because there weren't any fans in the stand didn't mean first baseman Chris Davis couldn't keep his tradition going.

The All-Star, who slugged a three-run home run to little fanfare in the first inning, tossed a ball into the empty stands several times during the Orioles' 8-2 win over the White Sox on Wednesday afternoon.

"It was something I joked about before the game started that I was going to do, just as a fun thing to help everybody kind of relax," Davis said of his antics, which stood out in a game in which paid attendance was officialy  zero.
