Regular visitors of Notinhalloffame.com know that we are slowly working on the top 50 of every major team in the NHL, NBA, NFL, and MLB. Once that is done, we will examine how each team honors its past players, coaches, and executives. As such, it is important to us that the Tampa Bay Rays will be inducting Evan Longoria into their franchise Hall of Fame.
The event will take place next year when the club returns to Tropicana Field.
Longoria is arguably the best player in franchise history, playing there from 2008 to 2017. The Third Baseman was the 2008 Rookie of the Year, a three-time All-Star, and won three Gold Gloves and a Silver Slugger for the team and is the all-time team leader in bWAR (51.7), Games Played (1,435), Runs Scored (780), Doubles (338) Runs Batted In (892) and Walks (569). Longoria also batted .270 with 1,471 Hits for Tampa.
He will be the sixth man to be inducted into the Rays Hall of Fame.
We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to congratulate Evan Longoria for his impending honor.
