They play again today. And 159 more times this season. Tampa Bay has its own major-league team now. And the real story wasn't that the Devil Rays lost, but that they played. For 22 years, Tampa Bay has been waiting, trying, fighting to get in the game.
Tomorrow truly is another day.
And that's part of the fun and drama of baseball. The day didn't turn out like the Devil Rays, and the 45,369 fans who packed Tropicana Field, had hoped. I think we showed the whole product is great. The field, the team and everything else. Suddenly, it didn't seem so bad that the Twins never moved to Tampa.
