Is That Kenny Loggins With Joe Maddon?

The Tampa Bay Rays manager tweeted this photo of his meeting Saturday with music legend Kenny Loggins at Tropicana Field.

Manager Joe Maddon tweeted a photo, and he looks, well, a little starstruck as he poses with Loggins. Kenny seems to have scored a free Rays shirt!   .

This oddball photo tweeted by Kelly Nash, a Tampa Bay Rays reporter for Sun Sports, was ricocheting around social media Monday. Nash was reporting from Boston's Fenway Park, when she took this "selfie" up in the bleachers. She had no idea a baseball would go whizzing by her head, a near miss. Only later did she look at the phone and notice that she nearly got beaned by a baseball during weekend batting practice, according to AwfulAnnouncing.com. The odds for Nash to take a photo just as a baseball goes sailing by are quite high – and the talk on sports radio and social media. "I laughed pretty hard when I saw such a surreal picture that I had no idea I took," Nash told FoxSports Florida. "I thought, you have got to be kidding me, maybe …
