Introducing SB Nation Tampa Bay, Where Evan Longoria Remains King

Please give a warm welcome to SB Nation’s newest regional blog, SB Nation Tampa Bay. Covering all things Bucs, Rays, Lightning, USF Bulls and anything else within the Tampa Bay sports community.

To kick things off, SB Nation Tampa Bay has given us their top five athletes in Tampa Bay.

Who sits at the top?

Gregg Burrage, editor of SB Nation Tampa Bay, says it’s former rookie of the year and Major League Baseball cover-athlete Evan Longoria.

Did we imagine a day when the Rays would hold the top two spots in a popularity contest?

That’s what happens when your football team has been down for a while. But, hey, they’ve got the Super Bowl victory to remember, even if Ronde Barber is the only one left. As Pat Yasinskas of ESPN.com said, “He’s the last real remaining link to the glory days of the Bucs.”

While you’re perusing SB Nation Tampa Bay, you’ll be introduced to our team blogs, such as Buc ‘Em, D Rays Bay, Raw Charge and Voodoo Five.
So check out SB Nation Tampa Bay, where two baseball players and a hockey player are more popular than any football player.
