15. Chris Davis (2012) and Reggie Jackson (1976) each hitting home runs in six consecutive games
Jackson’s run in Baltimore lasted only a year before he bolted for New York and Davis is better known for hitting a franchise record 53 home runs a year later, but each Orioles slugger made a list of only 19 players in major league history to homer in at least six straight games when they did it in 1976 and 2012, respectively.
Davis’ hot finish to 2012 carried over to the start of 2013 when he homered in each of the first four games of the season and knocked in a remarkable 16 runs over that time, propelling him to one of the best seasons in franchise history.

Right Now in Baltimore
The Misters Robinson of Baltimore and our fractured city in 1966
His next stage production at The BMA begins on March 5th and Dan Rodricks returns to Gertrude's for the holidays to take Nestor back to his Aparicio roots with the 1966 Baltimore Orioles winning the World Series – and the realities of the city, race, politics and a colorful upcoming show "No Mean City: Baltimore 1966."
What could two Dundalk teachers with 105 years of experience possibly still teach us about science and music?
It didn't even seem possible that colleagues Calvin Statham (59 years) and George Scheulen (46 years). who once taught Nestor at Holabird Junior High School in 1979, could still be teaching him about the important things in life beyond chorus and physics all these years later. Two beloved Baltimore County educators continue trying to tame their rambunctious student for the holidays with music and love (and crab cakes) at Costas Inn in Dundalk.
Johnny O on the lack of progress and Trump chaos and chicanery in Washington
We're all fed up and should be. Congressman Johnny Olszewski joined Nestor to discuss the lack of focus and progress on Capitol Hill and potential solutions for health care, transparency in government and the use of Trump's absurd pardons as a grifting tool.
