We planned our July vacation around the Ray's longest home-stand of the summer. We saw 9 games against the Red Sox, Blue Jays and Orioles
We sat near the dugout, and got lots of great pictures
The Rays won games against all three teams!!!
When the Rays win, the dome glows orange
Raymond was having a little fun on the field with Mike
Greg Norton played a great trick on Scotty, putting a bubble on his head. Scotty had no idea for the entire inning. Boy, did everyone get a good laugh when he finally realized it! Scotty was a great sport about the whole thing.
It was even on Bseball Tonight that evening!
We had great seats for all the games, right near the field behind first base
Rays Fans:
Frankie, Christin, Sue, Ann, George, Big Frank and Pat
Josh Paul grew a moustache, the broadcasters were making lots of jokes about it, and we decided to play along!
FSN had us on TV several times during the night, and the next day, during the Rays Starting Line-up, they used our picture again!
We even had a little 'stache for our new friend Michael
Before every game, Juan Salas came over to Christin for a "Good Luck" hug
Christin made friends with Mike, one of the Rays Security Guards
We finally got to spend a little time with Enrique Oliu, the Rays Spanish Radio Broadcaster
Christin made friends with Rich Herrera, Director of Radio Operations/Broadcaster for the Rays
Just past the dugout, we're waiting for the Rays to come out for the game
Christin and Jay are waiting for their chance to get a few pre-game autographs
Jay is Blue Jays Curtis Thigpen's biggest fan!
And when Thigpen was taken out fo the game, she let Gregg Zaun know it!
Can you tell we discovered posterboard this trip! We had fun with our signs!
Jay was stalking Thigpen after the game
The Rays beat the Blue Jays, notice the dome glowing orange. Jay displayed her Thigpen poster in her car.
The Orioles came to town, and Jay came back to her senses and returned as Brian Stokes' #1 Fan
Todd Kalas was checking out his #1 Fans after the game
We won another game! In the background they were setting up for a post-game concert
Hard to see, but Jonny Gomes was about to dump a ton of water on Dionner Navarro after a Rays win. Dionner was being interviewed by Todd Kalas at that time
We've made so many friends at the Trop this summer!
George and Ann with Christin after a Rays win!
THE RAYS WIN!
One of the games against the Red Sox was Flower Power Night
