Rookie lefty Matt Moore of the Tampa Bay Rays won his first playoff start on Friday against the Texas Rangers. Moore went seven innings and only gave up two hits and allowed no runs. The Rays won the game 9-0 to take a 1-0 lead in the American League Division Series with the Rangers. When Moore was with the Charlotte Stone Crabs, the High-A affiliate of the Tampa Bay Rays, I had the chance to photograph him in Lakeland, Florida at Joker Marchant Stadium on May 11, 2009.

This was the only chance I had to photograph him in the Florida State League and I actually drove to Lakeland to get photos of him for the Florida State League top prospect card set. I submitted the other photos of him that I took that night to Four Seam Images, and Topps used three of the photos I took for their 2010 Pro Debut Card set. Not a bad outing for me that night but Matt definitely stole the show on Friday!
