On SportsCenter last night they said that the Rays, who are currently in 1st place and have one of the best records in the MLB, only drew 12,000 fans to their game against Toronto. Meanwhile, last April the Lightning, who were terrible, drew 17,000 fans to a meaningless game against Atlanta. Only in Canada would such misplaced priorities be normal, but this is Florida!
I have long thought that no baseball team had worse fans than the Marlins, but the people of Tampa Bay have hit a new low. Can you imagine a WS in Tampa with 12,000 fans in attendance? Of course if the Cubs win the NL their fans will buy up all the remaining tickets, but seriously!
