The Tampa Bay Rays won the ALCS last night, beating the defending champs the Boston Red Sox 3-1 in game 7. The Rays will meet the Phillies in the World Series beginning Wednesday.
I grew up loving baseball, but the strikes and steroids over the years have turned me against the game I loved. The Rays may bring me back. The worst to first story is awesome, they are the ultimate underdogs. This is the ONLY winning season they've ever had!!!
I was working in Princeton WV when Tampa brought the Rays to town as an Appy League team, so I've always had a soft spot in my heart for them. I worked some games as the P.A. announcer and spent lots of time at Hunnicutt Field. I've always enjoyed calling the Princeton team the P-RAYS....uuummmm...PRAYS!
This Wednesday I'll be cheering on the team no one thought would be where they are, playing on the biggest field for the biggest prize in baseball! I can see the book and movie already!
Go Rays...brian
