Good to see good gestures by players get attention .Seem to dwell on negative stuff too much especially on social media sites.Like in any jobs you have mostly decent people and some aholes.I have dealt with some athletes with service member and veteran causes.Most of the players give some of their time by going to a VA hospital, etc.Two of the best at this were Darren O'Day and Doug Fister. Darren would have an annual BBQ and visit Walter Reed often.Doug Fister went on a USO tour into some hotspots with his wife .Both gave time and money to service member and veteran groups.

Darrel Green also does a lot with his Youth Faith Foundation. I think there are quite a few athletics doing different activities, helping others, but they dont get too much attention in social media, of course, thats not the reason, they do these things.

Its the aholes, that get drunk, beat up their wife, smash up their car, grab some chick's rear end at a bar that get all the attention.

This is huge. $3 million is no joke. This has to be one of the biggest charitable donations from an MLB player ever. Great stuff.

Wow.  This is wonderful.  Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Davis.  Breath of fresh air compared to so many stories we read about the actions off the field of some professional athletes.

+1 to all of these.

I believe Davis is still the Orioles ambassador for Casey Cares as well. He also helped out in that car crash on 295 a few years ago,

Is "Casey Cares" the samething that he sponsors with his batting thing, where people who donate can take a modified batting practice on the field?

Chris has a good head on his shoulders, a good heart and a wonderful partner , Jill, who was a pediatrics nurse.   Bravo to saving lives!
