Chris Davis has hit his 50th home run on the season. The home run ties Brady Anderson for most home runs in a season for the Baltimore Orioles. It was a clutch time for Davis to hit number 50 as it came in a tie game off of Toronto Blue Jays all-star reliever Steve Delabar in the 8th inning.

The home run extends Davis’s American League lead over the Detroit Tigers Miguel Cabrera by 7. ESPN sent out a tweet putting into perspective just how special Chris Davis’ season has been.

MLB, wanting to get in on the action, actually started printing money with Chris Davis’ face on it.

I am not sure about the legality of the tender but I know that if you have a piece of it in Baltimore it is as good as gold. I am sure that Davis would trade at least a portion of these home runs if it meant that the Orioles would make it into the playoffs this year. Baltimore is currently 2.5 games back of a wildcard spot, which doesn’t sound that bad unless you look at the fact that there are currently 5 teams in front of them all vying for 2 spots.

I don’t think that this is the year for Baltimore but that remains to be seen. After all, not many people predicted they were going to make the postseason last year.
