Two days ago we reminded you that a pizzeria in Denver was giving away free pizza to Rays fans. We put a call out for photos and Ken came through (thanks Ken).

We will let Ken explain the scene…
There was free food, so naturally media followed — Dave the Rays Radio guy was there, as was Mark Topkin (you can see him in the picture). 50 or so Rays fans inside and outside the place. From where they were even 2 years ago when the visited Denver and there was maybe 30 of us in Rays garb, to last night when the Rays fans took over the ballpark late — there had to be 1,500 Rays fans there last night. Incredible. A guy in a Matt Joyce jersey at Coors Field for crying out loud.
It is like a proud papa watching his child drink their first beer. The Rayshead Army is growing up right before our eyes.

Last summer, John Keiley, owner of a pizzeria in Lakewood, Colorado, offered free pizza to any Rays fans if the Rays won the World Series. Well, as you know, The Phraudulent Phillies cheated the Rays out of their rightful place in history*.
Recognizing that an injustice had been served, Keiley contacted Marc Topkin after the World Series and let it be known that he was still going to make good on his offer.
“Let your readers know that … all Rays fans (who) show up at the pizza shop with a Rays hat or jersey … they can eat free on Wednesday the 17th — anything they want.”
Got that? Anything you want. Apparently the pizzeria (Johnny’s New York Pizza & Pasta Shop) is only 15 minutes from Coors Field.
So who is going? We would love to hear about it and we would love to see pics.
*no, we are not going to let go
