Tropic Thunder: Tampa Bay Rays Evan Longoria on the Cover of ESPN The Magazine
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-May 08, 2009 03:27 PM Eastern Daylight Time - Some people look at the sweet swing of Evan Longoria and think he's a natural. But he’s not – his talent is the result of hard work. After not being drafted out of high school, Longoria went to junior college and then on to Long Beach State before finally getting noticed. Now, at age 23, he's fast becoming a mix of Cal Ripken, Derek Jeter and Tiger Woods; beneath the gracious veneer, there's a devotion to competitive ruthlessness. In Just Getting Warmed Up, in the new issue of ESPN The Magazine on newsstands now, senior writer Buster Olney on last season’s AL Rookie of the Year and how his work ethic and talent have made him a superstar. Quotes from the Article: Tom Foley, Tampa Bay’s infield coach on Longoria: "I don’t think I’ve seen a better third baseman, and I played with Mike Schmidt.” Carl Crawford, teammate, on Longoria: “He impressed me from day one. Somebody must’ve schooled him before he got up here, because he definitely carried himself well. If you’d watched him last year, you would’ve guessed that he’d been in the big leagues for 10 years. He fit right in. He doesn’t want to be the guy with a lot of talent everybody hates. It was refreshing to see someone with that kind of talent that way.” Joe Maddon, Manager on Longoria: “He’s one of the best young talents, and he’s someone all of major league baseball can look to as a champion of how to do things properly. He’s very capable of all that.” In Mixed Messenger, writer Michael Woods spends four days with Dana White, the man who has turned no-holds-barred “human cockfighting” (as John McCain famously called the UFC in the early days) into an organization that routinely earns $40 million a month in pay-per-view sales. The Magazine looks at White’s hard charging, public persona and explores how he used those traits to make the UFC—and the sport of MMA—into a player in the sports world. Jobs Package: Finding a new job today is an accomplishment. Finding a gig in sports, where you can rub shoulders with heroes? Monumental. Using a "Choose Your Own Adventure" set-up, the 2009 edition of The Magazine semi-annual jobs package explores the commonalities that exist between gigs in a host of different fields, and how you can wind up in more than 20 different jobs (promotions director, radio producer, spots information director, statistician) —and then jump from one of those jobs to another. ADDITIONAL FEATURES: PLEASE HAVE YOUR BOARDING PASSES OUT. Pack up the wife and kids, block rooms and avoid the Staples Center. NBA and NHL insiders recall the secrets to surviving the road during the playoffs. The Magazine staff reports. ONE MEAN MOTHER. Darlington Raceway helped pull NASCAR off the dirt and into the big time. But the series has stuck her with a race on Mother’s Day weekend. The Magazine asked the track for her take. She didn’t disappoint. As told to writer Ed Hinton. ***ESPN THE MAGAZINE COVERS AVAILABLE AT ESPNMEDIAZONE.COM *** Welcome to N V Amber Alert Updater for missing children.
