Akinori Iwamura, Evan Longoria, Carl Crawford & Troy Percival – On the Cover of Latest ESPN The Magazine
The Tampa Bay Ray’s are finishing up the first half of the MLB season pinned as a major contender for the fall classic. In the July 14, 2008 issue of ESPN The Magazine, “Remember That Cute Little Team from Tampa Bay That Everyone Used to Beat on?,” writer Steve Wulf reports on the once MLB doormats (nine basement finishes in 10 years) to the team nobody wants to mess with – all the through the eyes of their most loyal fan – Raymond Ray the mascot.
In “Brandon Webb is Busy Resting,” Buster Olney hit the road to shadow the Diamondbacks righthander for six days. Olney writes, “Webb is as laid back as a seventh-inning stretch in spring training.” Webb, baseball’s winningest pitcher this season, gives fans a day-to-day look at how he keeps his cool between starts.
