Rays Hire Kevin Cash As New Skipper
- Updated: December 31, 2014
Kevin Cash became the fifth manager in Rays history on Dec. 5. New to the job, he is hardly a stranger to Rays fans, or to baseball fans in the area.
Cash played in the 1989 Little League World Series for Tampa Northside, graduated from Gaither High School in 1997 and played three seasons as an infielder for Florida State University, including a trip to the 1999 College World Series.
His professional baseball career got on track when the Blue Jays signed him after seeing him play catcher in the Cape Cod League.
At age 37, Cash will be the youngest manager in the Major Leagues. And he’ll be the sixth Tampa-born manager in Major League history, and the second for the Rays, joining Lou Piniella (whom Cash played for in 2005), Hall of Famers Al Lopez and Tony La Russa, Dave Miley and John Hart.
Cash has a lot of energy, and he needs that energy on a daily basis for more than baseball since he and his wife, Emily, have three children: daughters Camden (8) and Ella (6) and son J.D. (1).
