It's also GREAT to see/hear more Rays fans than away team - especially Sox/Yanks fans.

New stadium probably won't happen. At least not yet. The location is awesome
(ask Chuck and TC) the area is just beautiful however I worked EVERY spring training game and it was pretty hot . The new design wont keep the heat out, just a straight down pour.

Anyway...if anyone is in town for a game, come down and see me. I'm the only bald grounds crew member and usually manicure 3rd base.

I am in the front row on the right.

So..how do you get a gig like that? Did you know someone or just applied? I'm sure after a while it's just a job, but that's pretty cool

Had some friends who worked there.

....and is only "just a job" after a while when you're losing.
