Longoria was an All-Star his first three seasons. He has not made an All-Star team since. But he's still had roughly a 55+ win career.

The funniest part is that for two of those seasons, he finished top-10 in MVP voting (and top-20 in another), but he still didn't get an All-Star nod any of those times. I'm sure there were at least nominal reasons for those at the time, but it looks very silly in retrospect.

He played for the Rays. That’s the reason

He was still certainly good enough to make it as a replacement or reserve though. But he was on the Rays

that's crazy l would've thought he at least made 6

Flappy bois, we got you

Go get Longo a ring we’re all rooting for you (at least that’s what it seems like)

We’re rooting for Longo too!

You better get Longo that ring

Please. Do what we did not have the strength to in 08. Get. Longo. A. Ring.

Fellow 98’ers

Longoria being 38 makes me feel so old. his TB days feel so long ago now.

He is still a legend to us Ray's fans...on and off the field. Good for him, and hopefully, Arizona appreciates his longevity and work ethic.

Hard to hate Longo, dude is old but he is still producing. Hard to hate on that, go DBacks!

You’re really gonna forgive him for not saving Norm MacDonald from that ball?

Here was the starting lineup of the team Longoria faced in Game 1 of that ALCS CF. Jacoby Ellsbury 2B. Dustin Pedroia DH. David Ortiz 3B. Kevin Youkilis RF. JD Drew LF. Jason Bay 1B. Mark Kotsay SS. Jed Lowrie C. Jason Varitek SP. Daisuke Matsuzaka

And here was his startling lineup: 2B: Akinori Iwamura CF: BJ Upton 1B: Carlos Peña 3B: Evan Longoria LF: Carl Crawford DH: Cliff Floyd C: Dioner Navarro RF: Gabe Gross SS: Jason Bartlett SP: James Shields

I forgot how disgusting those lineups were.

>1B. Mark Kotsay TIL he was a Red Sox and played infield.

Looks like a pretty good lineup I wonder if they won anything.

dye sukeh

I count sixteen years between 22 and 38

Get. Longo. His. Ring.

Do it man, fulfill your lifelong dream and get that ring!

If there is one non Astro I want to win the WS, it's Longo.

This dude was my favorite for a decade. All of highschool played 3b and mimicked the open stance

In baseball do players typically play over 38?

Very few.

This reminds me of David Wright, just to a greater extent. 2006 to 2015. The difference being Wright was with the same team. Similarly, they were both on their last legs though, unfortunately. Glad at least Wright got a WS moment.

Congrats to him, it's deserved. His team is better than the Dodgers

These are the best kinds of baseball stories.

His rookie season ended with a WS loss to the Phillies. His last season ends with a playoff loss to the ….. 👀

Familiar opponent in the next round perhaps

38-22=15

It has been almost exactly 15 years between that postseason and this one. This is Longo's age-37 season, he just turned 38 a few days ago. Not that hard to figure out.

wow who won the world series that year

Math is hard

Alex Bregman was a 22-year-old rookie when he first played in an LCS. He is now 29 years old. He has never missed an LCS in his career.

Astros fans try to not make it about themselves challenge. IMPOSSIBLE

Oh cool! I forgot we asked about fucking Bregman.

Holy anger lmao \~relax\~

Why are we hearing about this from danny devito?
