Want a one-foot by one-foot piece of the Rays old FieldTurf? It will cost you $25 at next weekend’s FanFest, and all proceeds go to charity. For comparison, the Yankees sold one square-foot chunks of old Yankee Stadium sod for $120. Of course, the Yankees may have missed their price-mark. [...]
One last note about the 2010 American League awards that is worth noting. Four of the top 10 finishers for AL MVP were drafted by the Rays. And three of those were drafted by Chuck Lamar. 1. Josh Hamilton — 1999, #1 overall 6. Evan Longoria — 2006, #3 overall [...]
