Show and tell
Luke Scott on Saturday brought in a 7-foot Zulu spear he said was used to kill the boar that is now mounted on his locker. It is one of his favorite weapons. "Definitely one of my gamers," he said.
Cover boys
The Rays went with their three award-winning pitchers on the cover of their media guide, which came out Saturday: Jeremy Hellickson, who got the Gold Glove; David Price, who got the American League Cy Young Award; and Fernando Rodney, who got comeback player of the year. The guide will be available for purchase during the season.
