It deserves its own thread. The stadium was chanting his name in the 4th at bat.
An immediate fan favorite in the making.

I've been inspired. I'm currently watching Magnum Force on TV now.
I'm wearing a Magnum condom for luck.
did you have to tie a knot to make it fit?*****
That thing's gonna fall off 2 strokes in. Which should be plenty long enough.
No matter what happens from here on out, Jake freaking Mangum has lived the dream. Couldn't happen for a better guy.
Quit trying to suck up to PooPops for a summer job.
Man I couldn't be happier for a guy I've never met.
I was told he would never make it. Tampa already had their guys. His metrics aren't good enough, etc.
RBI'd for your pleasure
There is an entire Ryan’s Steakhouse buffet worth of crow to be eaten by quite a few posters on here….that’s for sure.
With the the never ending negative streak we’re on….It makes news like this just that much sweeter.
If you listen to this interview and don’t like Jake Mangum you can go to Hell.
'Mayor of Starkville' a Major League hitmaker (4-for-4) for Rays
TAMPA -- As a freshman at Mississippi State University, Jake Mangum turned to his high school baseball teammate and college roommate for some important advice. He needed a walk-up song.

Have some fun, Jake. “Mayor of Starkville”
I mean, of course Jake goes 4 for 4 in his 2nd MLB game with two hard bouncers to the shallow outfield, a laser to right and a gap ground rule double. 2 hits each right handed and left handed. Of course he did.
He is so beloved. I really hope he can stay up and have a special season so he gets the chance at a career...

Shows all the hits, both stolen bases and even a typical Jake outfield play that didn't get the out, but showed the league that taking the extra base on him won't always go well...

Again. Man.. we could use a couple Mangums right now.
Well, I guess this means he won’t be taking the head coach position back home..*
But seriously, glad he finally broke through. Wish we had A player on the roster with half the heart of that guy.

It is pretty cool to see how beloved one of our guys is within baseball.
Y’all member when we had a program that attracted guys with his talent and drive?

I haven't cared about keeping up with box scores for MLB in years, but I definitely check the Rays box score now that Jake is there! I was ecstatic to see him get his first MLB hit, then to complete the night 4-4 with 2 stolen bases...That's just amazing!
Keep making those memories, Jake! We needed them as much as you do right about now.

Could not be more proud. Jake plays the game like it is supposed to be played. May have to invest in a Rays hat.
Apparently the Mayor will be facing some dude named Skins or maybe it's Skenes tonight.
Anybody heard of this loser??

Jake is about to make me do something I've never done before, and that is to get a subscription to MLB tv.
I believe he was the "Mayor of Oxford" too. He was Ole Miss kryptonite like Chris Relf was.
Sad thing is, he could probably bat .500 and still get sent back down in a few weeks
