BALTIMORE -- When he signed a club-record seven-year, $161 million contract this past January, Orioles first baseman Chris Davis referenced wanting to do more in the community. He made good on that promise Tuesday, as he and his wife, Jill, announced a new partnership with the University of Maryland Children's Hospital (UMCH).
The Davis family will serve as ambassadors for UMCH, helping to raise awareness for childhood illnesses and UMCH's role as a leader in patient care and pediatric disease research and teaching future generations of health care providers.
"We wanted to get involved in several ways with the city," Davis said of his wife, who previously worked as a nurse.
