My first Rays’ game.
The stadium @ 1 Tropicana Dr., St. Petersburg, FL 33705 … in 2025
- Marlins
- Texas Rangers playoff
- @ Yankees
Bay Area means SF or Tampa? 😂 The battle of the Bays
The stadium: it looks old, feels old and it is old. The name shows the age … nowadays, the sport arenas use the names, like Bill Games and Steve Jobs, -:) you get the picture. I wonder if the Field is ever used for circus, which I think is pretty appropriate.
The national anthem is so so
Ok, to the game. It’s an exciting game, Rays won 12-4. The 8th inning is something to remember for: they scored 9 runs, of which is the grand slam home run by the rookie Osleivis Basabe (2000-, Venezuela), who made ML debut early this month, August 13, to be exact. By now he has 8 rbi.
Below is what I wrote on my FB during the first innings …
Everyone loves Raymond
Parking lot directors: I asked them if I could bring my bottle of water in. They said only sealed bottles. And followed up with “if you’ve beer 🍻 you can leave them with me.” Little Irene “beer? I’ve whole bottle of grey goose.” I lied but they said they love me.
Seeing the fans in purple, I asked the gate checkers why don’t you direct them to another ball park? They so love me 😂
Ticket agents. As my better half busy conducting his transaction. Little Irene saw a couple of guys walked over who looked like have no clue. I told them “if you’re Rays fan, the tickets are free …” The agent was so not happy, kept saying, “look at me who wears uniform … trust me …” Guess it’s politically incorrect to say don’t trust woman … shouting match ensured 😝 ha ha ha
⚾️ what ⚾️? It’s only the end of the third inning 😂 long way to go 😭 the night is so young
@ 7:29 Rays ties the game at 2:2
Social Roost is really, will return.
