Approaching the dog days of summer faster than ever, I can honestly guarantee no one thought The Rays would be atop the charts in wins in all of the Major Leagues. In such a glamorous division of Pinstripes and Bosox, I felt it was necessary to make note of how the Rays are continuing such success, and giving them such much deserved credit.
At first glance, you don't really encounter much of the highly profiled, all-star proven types of players you think this team would be stacked with. Instead, you see the teams, which average is 27.8, young bursting talent of B.J Upton, Carlos Pena, Carl Crawford, and Evan Longoria.
This is the secret to their success; a core nucleus of young hitting that goes unnoticed until before you know it, they swept you in front of your fans. The young combination has turned this once sunken Devil, into a Ray of sunshine. The young bomb squad, with help from veteran pitchers Scott Kazmir, and Josh Shields make this team, make the record believable. As the days go long, and the stamina becomes a grind, it will be a sight to see if these young group of Cinderella's can make their season last all the way to the short days of fall.
