Now that the Rays are in the World Series with the Philadelphia Phillies, I find myself being asked – and not just by family members in my hometown of Philly – if I have allegiance issues. The answer is no. A resoundingly emphatic no.
Apart from being the best national sports story in years, the Rays are part of the community I live in and proudly call home. And I’m here by choice – not inertia. You have to be born somewhere.
Go, Rays.
