Dog's best friend
Each home run by Rays 3B Evan Longoria this season will again benefit the Pet Pal Animal Shelter, a no-kill, nonprofit shelter in St. Petersburg. It's his fifth year in a row supporting the shelter. For each home run, he'll join the Rays, his Ducky's Sports Lounge, Bright House Networks, Kids Artistic Revue and the Rainbow National Dance Competition in each donating $100 to the shelter. Since 2012, his home runs have resulted in $40,500 in donations for the shelter. For more information on how to help, visit petpalanimalshelter.com or call (727) 328-7738.
