| 12th July, 2008 - 12:43 pm | The Tampa Tribune - Rays rookie third baseman Evan Longoria will participate in Monday night's Home Run Derby, according to The Tampa Tribune.
Longoria said he didn’t expect to be asked but got a call on Friday and happily accepted. He’ll be the first Ray ever to take part in the Derby.
"I guess they needed another guy, but I guess they wanted me to do it just because of the amount of the fan votes that I got," he said. "I guess I’m pretty popular with the fans, so they wanted me to get in there and, I don’t know, show what I can do."
Longoria will join Josh Hamilton and Grady Sizemore from the American League, with one spot remaining open. [READ] |
