On this date in 2014, the Tampa Bay Rays had their worst record in the American League at 36-49. This season has been an entirely different story, and a major reason why has been the emergence of Logan Forsythe as a star second baseman. Forsythe is well on his way to having his best season in the majors, eclipsing old personal highs in nearly every offensive category. This is exactly what the Rays needed to become more of a threat in the division, but Forsythe isn’t the first to have a breakout season in a Rays uniform.
