Evan Longoria

Evan Longoria is one of those players who made you fall in love with a franchise — for a decade-plus, he was the Tampa Bay Rays, a cornerstone who made the impossible feel routine at third base. Winning the AL Rookie of the Year in 2008 and then locking down a Gold Glove the very next season, "Longo" proved early that he was the real deal on both sides of the ball. Three World Series appearances with Tampa, a late-career chapter in San Francisco, and a swan song with Arizona — 16 seasons of quiet, reliable excellence from a guy out of Downey, California who never really got the national spotlight he deserved. The kind of player serious baseball fans always appreciated more than the casual crowd did.
