and parked over here i'm noticing this
4:07
this appears to be
4:09
wanda franco up here on the
4:11
billboard look at that
4:14
i think that's i think that's wander's

gloves
4:17
all right ended up stopping inside the
4:19
mall where they have a dick sporting
4:20
goods and inside here they actually in
4:22
in the past they have not had that much
4:24
tampa bay raised up but they have a good
4:26
plethora assortment of different
4:28
merchandise for the rays including hats
4:31
jerseys
4:32
t-shirts things like that even a hot dog
4:34
shirt which i'm not going to get also
4:36
tonight i'm not going to be getting any
4:37
hot dogs in the stadium trying to eat a
4:38
little bit better
4:40
i might get a little snack if i have
4:41
something healthy but it's gonna
4:43
go hot hot dogless the shirt was very
4:46
tempting to get and they have a little
4:47
bit better prices than they have at the
4:49
team store at the top inside dick
4:51
sporting goes and i also picked up a
4:53
piping hot caffeinated beverage from a
4:54
place called blind tiger
4:56
inside the mall itself
4:58
which every time i
5:00
ended up meeting anyone here to carpool
5:02
over to the stadium i always go inside
5:03
the blind tiger and get a coffee yes
5:06
pretty tasty
5:07
pretty tasty coffee here and have now
5:09
met up with another friend tampa jay
5:11
welcome to the west shore plaza mall
5:13
what's the name of this mall west shore
5:15
west shore plaza
5:18
mall i actually used to work here back
5:19
in the day you worked here i worked here
5:21
for a company called express all right
5:24
briefly briefly you're going to the game
5:26
today too that's right i got my coffee
5:27
here as well as chris the girl cheers
5:31
you went with a little blind tiger
5:33
action there's going to be five of us at
5:35
the gang what is that it's actually a
5:38
dirty tiger t-h-a-i it's a thai tea okay
5:43
what did you get
5:44
flame boring coffee that's what i got
5:46
plain boring coffee cheers number two
5:48
and even though we are going to a
5:49
stadium full of food it seems
5:53
brian you have gone with a charlie's
5:55
grilled chicken grilled chicken
5:58
sandwich and you also went with a little
6:00
take out from the food court as well yes
6:03
i did all right we're now leaving the
6:04
mall to make the commute over the bridge
6:07
to saint pete
6:09
all right ryan you ended up getting a
6:11
little merchandise from the store how
6:12
much was the hat uh about 30 bones okay
6:15
that's probably comparable maybe a
6:17
little less expensive than the team
6:18
store would be at the top and i don't
6:20
have to wait in the line now that's true
6:22
no line at all
6:24
you're still wearing a cardinals hat
6:27
and now going over the very lengthy
6:35
and it almost looks like they're
6:35
building a secondary bridge over to the
6:37
side of this one
6:44
okay we have found some off-site parking
6:44
for only ten dollars over here
6:47
and they're about to have a reveal
6:55
oh my gosh
6:55
are you wearing a cleveland jersey i
6:57
think he's doing it come on a little
6:59
major league action
7:02
exploring ryan
7:03
oh
7:04
nice you got the glasses too
7:07
it's vaughn and this is located right
7:09
next to the sunshine kitty
7:12
cat thing
7:13
c-a-t-f-e it's a cafe full of cats only
7:17
ten dollars to park over here as opposed
7:18
to 20 25
7:20
to park at the top so trying something
7:21
different little hack it's going to be
7:22
kind of unusual for me because i've been
7:24
going to so many away games to hear
7:26
people cheering
7:27
for the raise cause i've been to so many
7:29
away games
7:30
back at home drop a can of field trump
7:33
and this will also be a bobble head
7:35
giveaway wander franco who's on the il
7:38
right now
7:39
he has a bobble head well not him
7:40
personally but the team is giving away
7:42
one with his likeness on it first five
7:44
thousand people in which means i'm
7:46
probably going to get a bobblehead it is
7:47
now about 2 30 give or take so about
7:49
eight minutes the gates will open 90
7:51
minutes prior to first pitch you know
7:53
give or take but i never realized that
7:55
there was a raymond's rock garden over
7:57
here
7:58
when did you guys discover this was here
8:00
last time
8:01
last year
8:02
sought it out
8:04
a lot
8:05
i never knew about raymond's rock garden
8:07
before yeah
8:09
this whole place rocks now when you have
8:11
that on you have the glasses on do you
8:13
feel more like charlie sheen than you do
8:15
when you're not wearing them
8:18
i'm afraid i'm afraid to answer that
8:20
question with charlie's reason are you
8:21
winning
8:23
the tiger's blood it's pure
8:30
what was that
8:30
pure unadulterated sheen and because we
8:32
parked in that one area i've never
8:34
entered through gate six before usually
8:36
i go through the front this time going
8:38
around through gate number six gates are
8:40
open and i should also mention it's like
8:42
high 90s right now with yeah that could
8:44
possibly be a chance of rain so i'm very
8:47
grateful to be inside this going inside
8:49
this dome
8:52
yeah
8:55
i love it all right made it through the
8:56
checkpoint and it looks like kier meyer
8:58
here i think i'm going to put thoughts
9:00
in his head but i think he's thinking
9:01
why don't i have a bobble head kier
9:03
meyer wants to have a bobble head but
9:05
it's not kier meyer knight it is wander
9:08

9:16
looking forward to this this is a good
9:18
return to the trop getting a sweet
9:20
bobblehead here of wander
9:22
now this is pretty cool there's like a
9:23
little new museum in here with a lot of
9:25
artifacts all kind of scattered through
9:27
here and a lot of other bobble heads
9:29
that are kind of tucked away in here got
9:31
a little walk-off bat here longoria
9:34
right here this is the walk-off 2011
9:35

9:55
how have i missed my favorite mascot
9:58
ever dj kitty sporting right here saying
10:00
hello to everyone as they're walking in
10:02
and then also going to go inside the
10:04
team store which it looks as if they're
10:06
probably going to have some new
10:07
merchandise for the tampa bay ray team
10:10
store including hats and jerseys
10:12
merchandise things like that you know
10:15
it's kind of scattered through the team
10:16
so i always like to look for new stuff
10:17
that i probably don't necessarily need
10:19
but it's fun to have i like to have a
10:21
lot of a lot of raised gear to support
10:23
and represent including they also have
10:24
some baseball cards team set cards
10:28
as well and then gonna also go over and
10:30
look at the rays themselves the
10:32
the fish and the animals swimming around
10:35
in the water the actual legit tampa bay
10:37
rays which are kind of swimming around
10:39
in the middle middle of center field i
10:42
also want to zoom in and point at
10:43
exactly where i'm going to be sitting up
10:46
in the the party area the party section
10:49
not the party zone but you know it's
10:50
like a it's a whole party up there and
10:52
in left field all the way up top so
10:54
we're going to go up there for a little
10:55
bit and just see what happens throughout
10:56
the course of the game and got my bobble
10:58
heads down inside this bag which i
11:00
purchased as well and they ended up
11:01
picking up one of those 2022 team sets
11:05
and wanders rookies right there on the
11:06
front of it which is pretty nice and now
11:08
making my way up to the upper upper
11:10
upper upper deck to the seats i'm really
11:12
hoping 2022 events something like this
11:16
and farther so this is how this works we
11:18
leave this area here where there is just
11:20
a
11:20
sea of people and we go out back out
11:24
gate six again but we're not gonna go
11:26
outside
11:27
we're gonna go
11:28
up up up and up and up and up and up but
11:31
you got to go outside to get it's kind
11:33
of a little tucked away ramp out here
11:35
you got to go up and down through this
11:37
ramp and then through that door it's
11:39
going to be up there oh that's the word
11:40
i was looking for deck the party deck
11:43
300 level party deck
11:46
all right first pitch is about to happen
11:48
okay
11:49
also brandon lau was back off the il
11:51

11:53
quite some time
12:00
first pitch
12:00
grounded to short over to first got him
12:02
and just like that the rays are now up
12:04
look at all the banners here
12:06
and the c-ring
12:08
there's three rings a b and c ring
12:16
there was a wild pitch and the rays just
12:16
scored i wanted to point out this little
12:18
snack bar area down here in this little
12:20
seating section
12:21
home run hit there last night just shy
12:23
of the foul pole grace hit a home run
12:26
and
12:26
smashed into the food at the snack bar
12:30
it was really close to being a foul but
12:32
it ended up being a home run
12:34
oh yeah randy go go go oh
12:39
wow ronnie's holding them up at third
12:42

12:43
about the chop is you can get unlimited
12:45
refills on the soda
12:47
i'm not trying to drink any soda i'm
12:49
trying to
12:50
dry and also got some peanuts as well
12:52

12:53
if i eat one i will just have like seven
12:56
bags they're like uh one of those chips
12:58
you can't just eat one they even have a
12:59
program here called inside pitch for the
13:01
w i didn't realize places had paper
13:03
programs anymore but this is the night
13:05
i'm here to wonder
13:11

13:12
holy cow there's also a devil's ray
13:14
throwback knight they're going to have
13:15
with the jersey and or
13:19
little like a cooler there that's coming
13:21
up on august 20th versus kansas city and
13:23
there's even an insert here where you
13:25
can keep up with your own scorecard i
13:26
always like when i see people with their
13:28
number two pencils or pounds they're in
13:29
the scorecards and look at look at
13:31
brandon lau here dressed as a farmer
13:34
holding a bunny wrap
13:36
what's the deal with that that's
13:37
interesting this is the dirt on brandon
13:39
now
13:40
yeah look at this right here
13:43
jay did you know brandon lau is a farmer
13:45
and holds bunny rabbits in a pitchfork i
13:47
did not know that yeah something you
13:49
learned something you learned up here in
13:51
the old macdonald yeah
13:53
brandon love had a farm
13:55
and just to show it's about halfway
13:57
through this little pass halfway through
13:58
the season
13:59
all-star break
14:01
previous play is under review
14:04
orioles trying to steal second waiting
14:06
it got him at second and called him out
14:08
but now the orioles
14:10
dugout want to review it see what
14:19
he's out they called him out paul stands
14:22
if you look closely in the center of the
14:23
screen through those doors you can see
14:24
it is pouring rain outside
14:28
also brandon lyles back up
14:30
oh dropped it dropped it
14:58
that's gone randy that's gone baby
15:04
rosary now god right down here awesome
15:17
all off the wall that's two that's a
15:17
double
15:28
and also these seats up here
15:28
they're not the most comfortable because
15:29
they're just they're just bleacher style
15:31
seats so
15:33
not the most comfortable
15:35
i'm also noticing in the clothes section
15:37
up top
15:38
way up there above the blue seats are
15:41
also bleacher seats
15:43
now obviously they made it to the world
15:44
series that might be the only time or
15:46
maybe the alcs
15:47
but those seats would be completely
15:49
filled up
16:04
you got the soda bottle top right there
16:04
but then you can also see the c-ring
16:08
this is really quiet this is like tucked
16:09
away over here in this corner
16:15
oh that's a base hit
16:17
oh they got to go in go randy throw it
16:19

16:21
he scored
16:32
double play double play got it
16:32

16:35
the mascot races got raymond dj kitty
16:38
the mascot for the soccer team here in
16:39
town
16:40
running the mascot races and it looks as
16:42

16:44

18:10
i think it's
18:12
sounds like it's stormy outside again
18:14

18:16
top
18:24
you would never know it inside here

though right just you can hear the
18:25
thunder

18:36
going in and out it's right above us at
18:38
the moment
18:40
look at that oh i can hear it you hear
18:43
the thunder oh it's right over here all
18:44
right there it goes again the wave is
18:46
beginning
18:48
the wave
18:57
popping it up it's going to drop oh yeah
18:57
go go go go go
18:59
that's a double
19:01
tailor walls
19:03
yeah take a look at the roof of the
19:04
truck look at this
19:06
the wind is blowing the roof of
19:08
tropicana field look at that it's like
19:10
stirring around
19:15
i don't think i've ever seen it like
19:15
that before just like rippling
19:17
oh i just saw some lightning up there
19:20
is the roof
19:22
dripping oh listen to that thunder
19:26
did you just get dripped on
19:28
you got wet
19:31
is the roof leaking
19:33
okay i had to come up here to this
19:34
window and peek outside just to show
19:36
what it's like
19:39
kind of outside there with the rain
19:40
really coming down
19:43
you can really hear the thunder
19:44
rain's kind of going sideways
19:47
a lot of lightning and thunder
19:53
full effect happening out there
19:54
and also while i'm peeking out there the
19:55
grounds crew
19:57
one of the ground screw guys likes to
19:58
dance
20:00
at certain times just kind of dancing
20:02
out here above the diamond
20:04
and really kind of some extreme dancing
20:06
i if i did that i would definitely pull
20:07
a muscle of some sort
20:09
i would not be able to probably walk the
20:11
next day but he is just
20:12
full-on
20:14
dancing
20:15
not even bothered by the storm that's
20:17
like going on outside
20:19
now making his way off off the field
20:21
everyone giving him a
20:23
riveting round of applause on the way
20:24
out
20:25
gotta love it yeah it looks like raymond
20:27
is walking around down there as well
20:29
yeah i saw dj kitty now right
20:32
i don't think i've ever seen the banners
20:34
bouncing like that
20:42
i don't know what's going on down here
20:42
in the bullpen
20:50
it sounds like cowbell max is out in
20:50
right tonight too
21:07
now i've just put it into the universe
21:07
that randy will try to steal second
21:10
see if i'm right
21:23
josh there he goes see called it
21:23

21:25

21:28

21:30
second whoo
21:31

21:34
i like how aggressive he is but whoo i
21:36
knew it i told you he was gonna steal a
21:37
second yep i called it
21:40
always always with the steel
21:42
almost slipped up there a second though
21:45
brandy
21:47
give me a heart palpitation
21:53
oh look they're looking at the roof it's
21:53
raining on the up
22:00
the ground is wet at second look at that
22:00
they're looking at the roof
22:03
that was weird the roof must be leaking
22:05
there
22:07
how strange was that
22:18
he's aggressive
22:21
got a wave going through
22:23
got the wave
22:35
you don't see the wave too often at the
22:35
top there's usually not enough people
22:36
here but there is tonight there it goes
22:40
there it is
23:04
it's now into the 10th inning
23:11
get him got him got him got him oh he
23:13
dropped it he dropped it
23:19
oreos are up by one great throw but very
23:19
thrilled by the outfield there i think
23:21
it was brent that may have launched that
23:23
man
23:32
oh yeah
23:44
gotta be kidding me
23:53
all right now pinch hitters in
23:53
luke raleigh has come in with two outs
23:56
two
23:57
base runners on base down by two
24:14
oreos
24:14
that was a little disappointing
24:16
obviously when the team you're rooting
24:17
for loses but nonetheless still
24:19
fun time even got to watch 11 full
24:21
innings of baseball and came really down
24:23
i'd rather really like to watch a really
24:24
close game when it comes down to the
24:26
last couple moments kind of gets your
24:27
heart pumping and the blood flowing and
24:29
now heading back out into the rain it's
24:31
not pouring like it was it's just kind
24:32
of misting but heading back down
24:35
a little circle here
24:44
whatever you do
24:44
don't look down and thankfully the
24:46
stroll back to the car won't be too
24:48
intense as far as rain goes just kind of
24:50
kind of misting
24:52
out here but that's the little platform
24:55
there we walked up
24:57
gate six
24:58
tropicana field and that's going to do
25:01
it for
25:02
today
25:03
from tropicana field the home
25:05
of the rays it was fun i am now
25:08
i've been i won't say this is the
25:10
completion
25:11
of my
25:13
road trip to go to race a home in away
25:16
or away games but i could not come back
25:18
into town and not immediately go to a
25:20
raise home game so i did i decided to
25:23
kind of end that the all-star breaks
25:25
coming up i probably will not go to a
25:28
trop game until after the all-star break
25:30
i'll go to another one at some point
25:32
nothing immediately but
25:34
down the road
25:35
no away games on my agenda
25:38

25:39
point
