First baseman Chris Davis played in the MLB from 2007-2020. He was with the Baltimore Orioles from 2011-2020. Davis led the Orioles to the playoffs twice in his career and after the 2017 season, he declined the final three years of his MLB career.
On Tuesday, the Orioles organization announced that Davis will be entering the Orioles Hall of Fame in 2026. Storm Davis and Chris Russo will also be entering the hall of fame as well. This is a big honor for Chris and his family.
The fans loved him during his time with the team. In 10 seasons with Baltimore, he played in 1151 games. Davis had a .230 batting average with 253 home runs and 656 RBIs, along with 19 stolen bases and 11 caught stolen bases. His on-base percentage was .315, his slugging percentage was .459, and his OPS was .774.
Chris Davis: Baltimore Orioles
There are a lot of Baltimore fans who are excited over Davis being elected to the Orioles Hall of Fame. This is what some of those fans had to say about it on Twitter:
It is not a surprise that many fans are excited that he is going to be getting this honor during the upcoming 2026 MLB season. Jake Rill of MLB.com said about when they are going to get inducted, "The three honorees will be recognized during a luncheon hosted by the Oriole Advocates at Camden Yards on July 31. An on-field induction ceremony will take place prior to the Aug. 1 game vs. the Phillies . (First pitch is scheduled for 7:05 p.m. ET, and tickets can be purchased at Orioles.com/Tickets .)"
There is no doubt that a lot of Baltimore fans are going to try and come to this ballgame. This game will most likely be sold out. Davis during the 2013 season hit 53 home runs and 138 RBIs. This was the most he ever hit in his MLB career. He is also sixth all-time in Orioles history for home runs hit. This is a well-deserved honor for him here.
