“Today’s Rays-Giants game at Tropicana Field is SOLD OUT!”
-Tampa Bay Rays (via Twitter)
After averaging just north of 17,000 fans per game on the season, the Rays are averaging somewhere in the ballpark of 28,000 fans per game over the course of four games — today’s sellout included. Cough, all this against the D’Backs and Giants, not the Sox or Yankees.
Dearest Dick Vitale, how d’ya like those apples?! Let him know at his Twitter feed, @DickieV. While you’re at it, rub it in Bob Ryan’s face as well at @GlobeBobRyan
