The Tampa Bay Rays are set to retire Evan Longoria’s No. 3 jersey and celebrate his legacy all weekend long during the upcoming July 10-12 homestand.

To kick off Longo’s Legacy Weekend on Friday, June 10, the Rays will also launch the Devil Rays Deal for every Friday home game at Tropicana Field.

Fans who purchase a Devil Rays Deal ticket will receive $10 in Burst Bucks via the Rays Wallet in the MLB Ballpark app to use on concessions or merchandise at Tropicana Field. Fans can also enjoy $5 12-ounce draft beers at the Rays Hall of Fame Bar and Grill until first pitch each Friday. For more information or to purchase tickets, visit RaysBaseball.com/Friday.

Longo’s Legacy Weekend will also feature exclusive giveaway posters created by award-winning illustrator Rob Zilla. The first 5,000 fans at each game July 10-12 will receive one of three unique 11” x 17” posters. Fans who collect all three posters throughout the weekend can combine them into a comprehensive design showcasing Longoria.
