One of my least favorite things to see in sports is when frustrated fans go from hating a struggling player’s performance into hating him as a person. In the case of Joey Butler, though, I would hope that people wouldn’t have that reaction. He was the underdog, and every second of his success was miraculous. And at the end of the day, what would you give just to hit in the major leagues for one day like Butler did for the better part of two months? Down at Triple-A, Butler is aiming to recapture just a little bit of that perfection and provide another spark for the Rays in September.
