Evan Longoria to Throw First Pitch Before World Series Game 4

Rays franchise legend Evan Longoria will throw out the ceremonial first pitch before Game 4 of the World Series at Tropicana Field. The third overall pick in the 2006 draft spent a decade in Tampa Bay from 2008 to 2017, earning 2008 AL Rookie of the Year honors, three All-Star selections, three Gold Gloves, and a Silver Slugger award. Honored with a statue outside Gate 4 commemorating his 2011 walk-off home run, Longoria returns as Tampa Bay faces a 3-0 series deficit.
