I saw that Evan Longoria is retiring as a Ray. I enjoyed watching “Longo” play third base when we attended Rays games between 2009 and 2012.

The picture that comes to mind first is the one from the illustration with his arms raised after hitting a walk-off home in Game 162. I was listening to the game on the radio.

I bought my son a Longoria figure that still sits on his shelf.

Congratulations on your career, Evan.
