Longoria actually hit two of the first three pitches he saw for home runs. For you soccer fans out there, Tampa Bay was a new team in 1998 and they've never been in the playoffs before.
Evan Longoria led a 6-4 Rays win over the White Sox Thursday afternoon in Game 1 of the American League Division Series.
A raucous sellout crowd of 35,041 at Tropicana Field watched as the rookie hit home runs in his first two at-bats. Longoria set off a roar when he deposited Javier Vazquez's first pitch of the second inning into the left-field stands to give the Rays a 1-0 lead.
