The last few years baseball fans have been lucky enough to watch a team rise from the ashes and into baseball awesomeness. The Tampa Bay Ray have given fans some of the best games in all of sports. They have battled with Boston and New York and held there ground every step of the way. For Tampa and Baltimore to play against these 2 powerhouses every year makes us all feel like the injustice of the world will never be set right. Somehow though, Tampa Bay has fought hard enough to be beat both Boston and New York.
The tragedy of this resurrection is that nobody ever goes to these games. The old saying is "if a tree falls in the woods and nobody is there to hear it does it make a noise?" Perhaps what we need to ask is, if the best baseball games are played and nobody goes to see it should they stay in that city?
No way... If Tampa Bay won't go to these games then they don't deserve the Rays, give them a AAA team like the Pittsburgh Pirates... oh there not AAA? oh sorry. Seriously there are some great cities within proximity of other AL East teams that would give there full support of the Rays if they would only come. I recommend Raleigh North Carolina, or New Orleans, LA. There is zero reason for the Rays to stay in Tampa, they are doing them selves dirty by staying, and the time to move was yesterday.
