Around 15 years ago, back in 2008, Evan Longoria finished wrapping up his Rookie of the Year campaign and embarked on his very first postseason run with the Tampa Bay Rays.
The Rays entered the 2008 playoffs as the #2 seed in the American League. They conquered the Chicago White Sox in the divisional round, then they took down the Boston Red Sox in the ALCS by taking Game 7 at home with a score of 3-1.
