Blog: Rays fans in New York

And dig the pre-mugged family pic! (if you look really, really close...you can see Jocko the Loon still handing out fliers in front of the kiddie Fascination kiddie Arcade!)

On Monday we tried to engage the locals by wearing Rays’ stuff around town, and it went largely unnoticed. It seems to me that the Rays, with the best record in all of baseball and certainly having a much better year than the Yanks, are still not seen as a legitimate competitor by the Yankee faithful. They assume that when the leaves in Central Park start to turn color, that it will be the Yanks and the Red Sox battling for the right to represent the American League in the World Series. Maybe so. Or maybe parking at the Trop in October will become a little more difficult.

See you at the ballgame. We’ll be wearing the Rays’ gear!!
