Rays in the World Series. Wha?
I never thought this day would come. Really. I say this with all sincerity. I never thought the Tampa Bay Rays would ever make it to the World Series.
My wife and I had season tickets for the inaugural season of the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. We proudly sat in the “partially obstructed view” seats. They were at the TOP of the Trop. Last row. A support beam for the roof was in our way and we couldn’t see the fence in right field. In fact, we often couldn’t see the right fielder. We also couldn’t quite see the whole jumbotron and many players names were cut off from our view. You know, like Fred McGri, Wade Bog, Quinten McCrack. Oh those were the days! The Rays went 67-95 that year and didn’t get much better any time soon.
In 2007 the Rays had the exact same record at 67-95. Fast forward one year and we are going to the World Series. Wow!
I’ve not yet jumped on the Rayhawk bandwagon, but am a proud supporter of the Tampa Bay Rays.
Here’s hoping that our Rays are able to beat the Phillies and win the World Series! Go Rays!
