Honor Roll
People love to root for the little man. Why? I couldn't tell you, but what I do know is that during the World Series, many AL east rival fans where pulling for Tampa Bay players. That's why first baseman Carlos Pena's recent AL gold glove is nothing short of refreshing. Pena who was all around the league before settling with the Rays is one of a few new infielders to nab the award and with only 8 errors on the season, it comes as little surprise. So while a gold glove is no World Series ring, Rays fans still have something to smile about. This season was not a fluke by any means, and with a few offseason transactions, there is always next year to look forward to.

I agree completely. I was rooting for the Rays to win but since they didn't this is a nice consolation prize. Pena is very deserving of this honor. I look for big things out of these young Rays the next few years. Anyone else remember the Braves of the early 90's making a similiar turnarouund with young, up and coming stars and ruling the NL for the next decade. Look for Tampa to do the same.
