Tampa Bay Rays. Major League Baseball's Tampa Bay Rays completed an improbable worst-to-first turnaround when they topped the American League Eastern Division in 2008, and again in 2010. Then there was that dramatic end-of-season comeback in 2011. Tickets are available at the box office for most games, but you may have to rely on the classifieds sections of the Tampa Tribune and Tampa Bay Times for popular games. Get here early; parking is often at a premium (pre-gaming at Ferg's is always a safe bet). Tropicana Field, 1 Tropicana Dr., off I-175, St. Petersburg, FL, 33701. 727/825-3137. www.tampabay.rays.mlb.com.
