Evoshield protects Texas Ranger Josh Hamilton as his team beat the Tampa Bay Rays, winning a postseason series game for the first time in franchise history.

Tropicana Field, St. Petersburg, Florida—October 13, 2010—The Texas Rangers beat the Tampa Bay Rays to win their first postseason series game in the franchise history.  Josh Hamilton, elite athlete for the Texas Rangers, continued to be a strong player for the Rangers, despite his recent rib injury.  His success is thanks to his Evoshield Rib Guard, which has provided him with proper protection for his injured rib.

In a recent quote in the Texas Ranger’s Blog on ESPN, Hamilton spoke of his Evoshield Rib Guard:

"Those pads helped tremendously," Hamilton said, placing his left hand over the ribs he cracked famously crashing into a wall more than a month ago. "I came all the way up on the base and I didn't feel anything.”
