Evan Longoria
He was the 2008 AL Rookie of the Year; He was a part of the 2007 gold medal winning USA National Team at the Baseball World Cup
Longoria's impact on the Tampa Bay Rays franchise is undeniable. He holds numerous franchise records, including career marks for games played, runs, doubles, home runs, runs batted in, walks, and Wins Above Replacement (WAR). His clutch performances, particularly his 12th-inning walk-off home run in the final game of the 2011 season, are etched in Rays' history. That home run secured the Rays' spot in the postseason, eliminating the Boston Red Sox from playoff contention. Longoria's ability to deliver in high-pressure moments made him a fan favorite and a key figure in the Rays' rise to prominence in the American League.
Defensively, Longoria was known for his exceptional glove work at third base. He won three Gold Glove Awards during his career, in 2009, 2010, and 2017, showcasing his acrobatic ability to make difficult plays look routine. His defensive prowess, combined with his offensive consistency, made him one of the most well-rounded players in the league. Longoria's leadership on and off the field was instrumental in guiding the Rays to their first-ever World Series appearance in 2008, during his rookie season. He would later return to the World Series in 2023 with the Arizona Diamondbacks, marking a 15-year gap between his two appearances, the longest for any position player in MLB history.
Longoria's legacy extends beyond his individual accolades. He is widely regarded as the best player in Tampa Bay Rays history, and his contributions to the franchise helped establish the team as a perennial contender in the American League. After his time with the Rays, Longoria continued to be a valuable asset for the San Francisco Giants and Arizona Diamondbacks, bringing veteran leadership and a wealth of experience to both teams. His career is a testament to his work ethic, consistency, and ability to perform at the highest level for an extended period.
