During the opening game of spring training this season, Joey Butler made his presence in the Rays camp known as he ripped a double in his first at bat, and Butler wasn't finished. He book-ended the day by hitting one of the longest home runs in Port Charlotte history, drilling the Batters' Eye wall in center field.
New manager Kevin Cash wasn't surprised to see Butler do that though, as he had been teammates with Butler in the minors and had seen him crush the ball numerous times.
Joey Butler has journeyed through several different clubhouses the past few of seasons.
