On the final night of the 2011 season Tampa Bay trailed Boston by a game for the last playoff place, and was seven runs down in the eighth. He hit a three-run home run in that inning and the winning one in the twelfth, three minutes after Boston had lost in Baltimore. It is among the most compressed sequences the game has produced.

Sixteen seasons gave him 1,930 hits, 342 home runs, 1,159 runs batted in and a .264 average, with three Gold Gloves at third base, a Silver Slugger and three All-Star selections. He was Rookie of the Year in 2008, when Tampa Bay reached the World Series in its first winning season.

Ten of the sixteen seasons were with the Rays, for whom he hit 261 home runs, more than anyone else has. San Francisco had five and Arizona the last. He is the best player the Tampa Bay franchise has had.
