Tropicana Field Home of the Tampa Bay Devil Rays The "Trop" is ugly. It's a weird bubble of a place where every sound echoes in all directions. It makes you feel kind of claustraphobic. It's designed more for bass guitars than baseball. |

If the Trop gets you down, at least salvation is not that far away. A convenient walking tunnel leads straight from the park to Ferg's Sports Bar. Ferg's reminds me a lot of my favorite hang-out across from Wrigley, the Sports Corner. Good food. Good people. Good times. If you're in St. Petersburg, be sure to grab a stool. |
The night Steph and I dropped in on the Devil Rays was one of Cal Ripken's last nights as an Oriole. To their credit the D-Rays fans gave him a couple standing o's. It was the second time we saw Cal on his farewell tour. |
