Rays Walk Hamilton Intentionally with Bases Loaded The Tampa Bay Rays made history Sunday night, walking Josh Hamilton of the Texas Rangers on purpose with the bases loaded so they could face Marlon Byrd, who struck out to cement a 7-4 Rays win. The intentional walk was the first time in 107 years that an American League player was walked intentionally with the bases full and only the fifth overall since 1900. "You don't pitch to Superman when you have Wonder Woman on deck," said Rays closer Troy Percival.

In case ya'll didn't know Marlon Bryd hit a walk-off grand slam August 4 against the yankees so walking Hamilton could have been a costly move to bad it didn't work in the ranger's favor. GO RANGER'S!!!!!
