Here are some fried (fun, surprising, or little-known) facts about Evan Longoria, the former MLB star and longtime Tampa Bay Rays third baseman:

1. Instant Impact

Longoria made history by hitting a home run in his first-ever MLB postseason at-bat (Game 1 of the 2008 ALDS). He went on to homer in his next two playoff games, becoming the second player ever (after Gary Gaetti) to homer in his first two postseason games.

3. Walk-Off Hero

Longoria has 11 career walk-off hits, including one of the most dramatic moments in MLB history—his walk-off homer in Game 162 (2011) to clinch the Rays' playoff berth in extra innings, capping an epic comeback from a 9-game deficit in September.

4. Rays Legend

He holds the franchise records for:

Most HRs (261)

Most RBIs (892)

Most WAR (51.2, per Baseball-Reference)
Despite being traded in 2017, he remains the face of the Rays' golden era.

5. Almost a Dodger

Before the 2008 season, the Rays nearly traded Longoria to the Los Angeles Dodgers for Andre Ethier, but the deal fell through. Imagine how different Rays history would’ve been!

6. Acting Cameos

Longoria made a cameo in the 2014 movie 'The Other Woman' (starring Cameron Diaz) and appeared in an episode of 'Workaholics' (S5E3).

7. College Star Turned MLB Stud

At Long Beach State, he played shortstop and was teammates with Troy Tulowitzki. He switched to third base in the minors because of Tulo’s presence in Colorado’s system.

8. Clutch in October

In the 2008 playoffs, he tied a rookie record with 6 HRs in a single postseason, helping the Rays reach the World Series.

9. Traded for Salary Reasons

After nearly a decade as the Rays’ franchise player, he was traded to the San Francisco Giants (2017) partly because of Tampa Bay’s budget constraints.

10. Business Ventures

Post-MLB, Longoria co-founded 'Eat Mezcla', a healthy snack company, and remains involved in sports media and philanthropy.

Bonus: Fashion Icon?

Longoria once dyed his hair blonde during the Rays’ 2009 playoff push, sparking a team trend.

Evan Longoria wasn’t just a great player—he was the heart of the Rays’ rise from irrelevance to contention. Would you consider him a future Hall of Famer? 🤔
