Rays center fielder (for today) Carl Crawford stole his 300th career base during the Rays two-run first inning Monday against Kansas City, becoming the ninth player since 1900 to reach the milestone before age 27.
Crawford, who later scored the Rays’ second run on a single by Evan Longoria, joins Rickey Henderson, Ty Cobb, Tim Raines, Vince Coleman, Cesar Cedeno, Clyde Milan, Sherry Magee and Eddie Collins in that exclusive club.
The ball Royals catcher John Buck tried to throw Crawford out with was taken out of play.

It will be interesting to see how the young Rays handle the pressure cooker of a pennant race. Only a few, such as Percival, Floyd, and Hinske have been through one. It starts tonight at Yankee Stadium. The first of many road games with large, hostile crowds to deal with. So far the play .500 on the road, and clean up at home formula has worked well. Fingers firmly crossed for our guys. Go Rays!!
