X-Ray RePORT 2012 TAMPA BAY RAYS MEDIA GUIDE 40-MAN ROSTER › sAm Fuld OUTFIELdER saM FULD 5 samuel babson Fuld BATS left ÊÊSam, who has lived with Type 1 diabetes since he was 10, hosted a sports camp for 100 young diabetes patients this past February in conjunction with the University of South Florida Diabetes Center. ÊÊHis father, Kenneth Fuld, is the Dean of the College of Liberal Arts at the University of New Hampshire and his mother, Amanda Merrill, is a New Hampshire State Senator. ÊÊAfter just 8 weeks with the Rays, the team fashioned a giveaway after their new outfielder: a Super Sam Fuld Cape to kids 14 and under. ÊÊA sore shoulder in 2007 prompted him to learn to throw right-handed as a backup, although his left shoulder recovered and he has never had to rely on it...he borrowed a friend’s glove and practiced throwing right-handed by tossing baseballs against the wall of a Phoenix elementary school after his morning workouts with the Cubs...later that year he made his major league debut—left-handed. ÊÊHe interned with Stats Inc. in the fall of 2005 after playing for Peoria in the Midwest League. ÊÊSam earned his degree in economics from Stanford University, making him one of four Stanford graduates in the majors last season joining BOS Jed Lowrie (political science), PHI John Mayberry Jr. (political science) and CWS Carlos Quentin (political science).
