Is That Evan Longoria at Taco Bus?
The third baseman for the Tampa Bay Rays was spotted during lunchtime at the St. Petersburg restaurant on Central Avenue.
Evan Longoria fielded some tacos to go for the Tampa Bay Rays team Tuesday, when the third baseman showed up at the Taco Bus on Central Avenue.
Longoria, 27, took his place in line behind a small throng of people ordering from the takeout bus window, then waited on his order.
A couple of young women asked to have cell phone photos taken with him, and he patiently sat through the buzz that his appearance generated among people having lunch outdoors.

When asked what he had ordered, Longoria replied that he was picking up tacos for the team. (It was Meringue Day for the Rays at Tropicana Field, with Coach Maddon hiring a band to rally the team prior to Tuesday night's home game! Really.)
Plus the Rays need their energy. They played the Boston Red Sox at home Tuesday, and have another home game against the Sox at 7:10 p.m. Wednesday at Tropicana Field.
