sports / Durham Ex-Bulls join Tampa’s post-season roster; Rays win Game 1 behind two Longoria homers
Posted by David Fellerath @dfellerath on Thu, Oct 2, 2008 at 6:33 PM
The Tampa Bay Rays got off to a fast start in Game 1 of the American League Division Series against the Chicago White Sox, behind two record-setting home runs by rookie phenom Evan Longoria. The Rays prevailed, 6-4.
Longoria, who began this season in Durham (albeit briefly), became the first rookie to hit two home runs in his first two post-season at-bats. The only other, non-rookie, player to accomplish the feat? Minnesota's Gary Gaetti, who is now the Bulls' batting coach.

We love the Durham Bulls, but do the Bulls love us back?
If the Durham Bulls were a true asset, the baseball club would be something in which we owned an equity stake. But the present arrangement looks a lot like socializing the risk and privatizing the profits.
