Good morning, Camden Chatters.
In case you haven’t heard the news, Chris Davis’s time with the Orioles — and in major league baseball — is officially over. The former Birds slugger announced his retirement yesterday, citing the hip injury that had sidelined him for all of 2021 to this point.
Davis finishes his career with 1,417 games played, the majority of them coming with the Orioles after they acquired him from Texas in 2011. Of his 295 career home runs, he hit 253 with the Birds, ranking sixth in club history. His 656 RBIs with the Orioles rank 11th, two shy of Nick Markakis.
