Baseball players have different routines to get themselves prepared for games. Some watch videos. Some play cards. Some beat the drums. Some beat other things. I had no idea that Evan Longoria practices his musical skills before games. The third baseman got a lesson before Saturday’s game from Goo Goo Dolls drummer Mike Malinin:
The Goo Goo Dolls were at The Trop to perform a concert following the Rays game Saturday night. It was part of Tampa Bay’s Summer Concert Series which began in 2008, a promotional idea that helps draw crowds to the park. The Rays generally perform well on concert days, posting a record of 26-6. They were shutout by the A’s on Saturday 8-0. Maybe they should go back to Longoria’s idea to host a Senior Prom for Senior Citizens in order to have better success.
