Mr. Longoria does not wish to be disturbed

Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Evan Longoria showed up for dinner at Continental Mid-town, and it was clear he vanted to be alone.

If you don't want to be seen in Center City, perhaps it's not a good idea to go to Continental Mid-town for dinner on a Friday night.

Downstairs patrons at the meet market were instructed not to talk to the strapping young fellow who turned heads when he walked in with a bodyguard, a younger couple and a middle-aged couple.

Dan Ceisler, vice chairman of the Philadelphia Youth Commission, recognized the guy as Rays third baseman Evan Longoria. Ceisler says Longorio got his wish. After his tablemates cut out, Longoria sat at the table, playing with his Blackberry, and he was roundly ignored. Phillies fans saved all their love for "Eva" at the ballgame.
