so many people have been eager to see him in a Rays uniform.
MLB’s youngest player at age 20, the switch-hitting Franco started at third base and hit in the No. 2 spot against the Red Sox. He walked in his first plate appearance and hit a routine fly ball to center field his second time up. Then in the bottom of the fifth inning, he faced Boston left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez for a third time with two runners on base.
The hype started well before his 16th birthday
Franco jumped on a breaking ball from Rodriguez and blasted it 362 feet into the left field stands for his first hit in the majors, tying the game 5-5.
