Calling it a community effort to demonstrate to the Tampa Bay Rays that St. Petersburg deserves to be their forever home, Mayor Rick Kriseman released a one minute and 27 second mission statement video, introducing the Baseball Forever Campaign to the general public. You can watch that video below.
In short, the Baseball Forever Campaign is an initiative of the City of St. Petersburg, St. Petersburg Area Chamber of Commerce, residents, and fans of the Tampa Bay Rays. Please join us if you believe St. Petersburg should be the forever home of the Tampa Bay Rays.
