Emergency medical personnel quickly arrived to attend to Bigge. After several quiet minutes as Rays players knelt in the field, Bigge was placed on a backboard and carted off.
Bigge, on the 15-day injured list with a lat strain, gave a thumbs-up gesture as the Steinbrenner Field crowd rose for a standing ovation. The game resumed after an eight-minute delay with Baltimore leading 4-1.

Five Eagles Named To All-Quarter Century Team
Five Eagles Named To All-Quarter Century Team originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Since 2000, the Philadelphia Eagles have become one of the better rosters in the league. They have reached the Super Bowl four times, been to the conference championship game eight times, and won two titles. Advertisement Along the way, they have seen some of the league's biggest stars don the midnight green uniform. Five stars found their names on the Quarter Century Team made by ESPN Thursday afternoon. Right tackle Lane Johnson, center Jason Kelce, safety Brian Dawkins, and receivers Terrell Owens and Julio Jones were all named to the prestigious honor. Of the five names, Owens and Jones lasted less than two full seasons with the organization. Johnson, Kelce, and Dawkins are all-time fan favorites for the Eagles. Dawkins is a Hall-of-Fame safety and was a face of Philadelphia sports during the 2000s. His intensity brought a new flare to the organization. Kelce and Johnson, meanwhile, are two of the better offensive linemen in league history. Kelce was a former sixth-round steal out of Cincinnati. He became a starter right away and later an All-Pro. He's just the third member in Eagles history to be named an All-Pro six times. Advertisement As for Johnson, the former fourth overall pick has become one of the best right tackles in league history. His work as an athletic freak has allowed him to continue to be among the elite players in the game even into his 30s. All five Eagles have made their mark on NFL history. Although the majority of the players on the list are retired, making the All Quarter Century Team is a great honor. And it's another reminder of how good the Eagles have been recently.
