Chris Davis, 2012 Topps Heritage High Numbers #H621

I took a rare off-day from posting yesterday, for the best possible reason. I asked my girlfriend Janet to marry me, and she said yes...about a dozen times. I told her that I would take that as a "yes".

The past nine-plus months with Janet have been some of the happiest of my life. We've even been to a few great Orioles games together. Our first Oriole Park date was on Friday, August 24, 2012, when Chris Davis nearly singlehandedly carried the O's to a 6-4 victory over the Blue Jays. "Crush" Davis had three of Baltimore's eight hits that night, each of them home runs, and drove in four. He's pretty much been on a roll ever since, and today was named the American League Player of the Month for April. In the first month of the 2013 season, he batted .348/.442/.728 with a league-leading nine home runs as well as 28 RBI. But I still think that I'm having a better year.
