ofice this Friday March 28th opening day
0:13
of Rays
0:15
baseball they are playing their opening
0:18
game in
0:20
Tampa Stein brenfield the Yankees farm
0:24
team is not playing there this year they
0:26
have been moved to another location
0:28
because of the hurricane damage to
0:30
Tropicana Field the Rays have a new home
0:34
stadium for
0:36
2025 lot of teams
0:39
yesterday played their opening day games
0:42
but because of the stadium situation the
0:45
Rays and the Rockies play today in
0:49
Tampa for opening day I'm inviting you
0:51
to join me I'm wearing an appropriate
0:53
hat shirt and mustache I guess it's
0:58
officially a tradition last last year
1:00
shaved a stash shaved everything else
1:03
left a stash for opening day and this
1:06
year the same I'm inviting
1:08
you to join me I'm so excited shall you
1:14
self
1:15
pumping gas
1:24
316 little fuel here the our Deco
1:24
7-Eleven I have arrived to the parking
1:27
lot of George Stein Brer field cross
1:29
from the stadium over there that bear
1:32
Stein brin's name but Ray's
1:36
paraphernalia has been adorned
1:38
throughout the entire
1:39
property it's
1:55
happening George passed away in
1:55
2010 little sculpture of him
2:02
I would imagine Stein brener had no idea
2:02
that I don't know how down the road that
2:05
one of the Rival teams in his division
2:07
would be
2:08
playing 81 games as their home field in
2:12
his uh stadium that bears his
2:14
name Greg's here
2:16
also fellow baseball fish anado yeah of
2:21
course I'm still wearing Cardinals gear
2:22
even though I'm at a Tampa Bay Ray game
2:24
so far it is the Rays is my favorite of
2:26
alt it used to be the Yankees but then I
2:29
kind of like the Rays now yeah that's
2:31
good but uh yeah Stein Brer check out
2:33
he's got a ring on too did you see that
2:35
yeah they have a lot of
2:37
yeah how many rings do the Cardinals
2:39
have 11 that's a lot the race have big
2:43
fat zero the Yankees have like 27 I it
2:46
it's crazy yeah they they remind me
2:48
often one of my hopes for this season is
2:52
to see the Rays make it deep in the
2:54
postseason either Wild Card ALDS ALCS or
3:00
the World Series played in a 11,000
3:05
capacity
3:07
stadium this is a soldout game however
3:10
the stadium only holds 11k that bothers
3:13
me though that huge Yankees logo right
3:17
there well yeah should they have covered
3:18
that up I think they should have covered
3:21
it well I know all the seats are still
3:23
going to have the Yankey logo on it also
3:25
I mean Ste bruners is right there so I
3:27
know it's just weird it's this is a
3:29
weird year at least we have a place to
3:32
play done a pretty good job concealing
3:35
and changing so you just see they put up
3:38
the tarps there over where it used to
3:40
say Yankees yeah I definitely find it
3:43
fascinating that you
3:45
have Stein Brunner and the ray
3:48
spark on the same premises all year at
3:52
least one full year historic a historic
3:56
year yeah I got to be honest as a
3:58
temporary solution
4:01
I kind of don't dis like this 11,000
4:04
people which means every G today is sold
4:06
out obviously because it's opening day
4:08
but I would say most games are going to
4:09
be really really full at capacity Andor
4:12
sold out and I would rather see 11,000
4:15
people packed here than I would rather
4:18
see at a three times capacity stadium
4:22
with only 11,000 people I think the
4:24
energy is going to be way more intense
4:26
here than having a third full stadium so
4:29
so it could really could really bring
4:31
some
4:33
energy plus first time the Rays have
4:35
ever had a home stadium where they're
4:36
playing Outdoors outdoor baseball's here
4:39
in Tampa still in Tampa Bay but not in
4:42
St P this year all right met up with a
4:44
couple other friends here got Tampa J yo
4:47
raise up are you ready for some baseball
4:50
are you asking me or Chris from aimless
4:52
Adventures oh I'm asking you or you just
4:53
R I'm asking you I'm asking everyone
4:55
watching I'm ready I'm soose I we got a
5:00
fan here yep you're going to try to
5:01
convert me right is that the plan well
5:03
he's allowed to have a favorite Al not a
5:05
helicopter up there something you could
5:07
not have done at Tropic Can field to get
5:10
no
5:11
aerial news crew
5:18
footage it's also kind of nice to be
5:18
around a bunch of raised jerseys and
5:21
raised
5:22
hats it's been a while it's going to be
5:25
a good year so Maham was going to be the
5:26
starting pitcher today but he got he's
5:28
on the I 14-day I I believe so he is not
5:30
the starting pitcher Diaz is also in the
5:33
lineup today you got Brandon Lao right
5:35
here which I think he's going to do
5:37
really well here because the right field
5:38
porch is so short and he always hitting
5:40
home runs to right so that'll be kind of
5:43
kind of neat cero of course is a future
5:46
Superstar for the Rays like yeah that's
5:50
a neat
5:51
one this here you got the little
5:53
skateboarding here these were the ones
5:55
they released last year the city
5:57
connect fit for Tampa
6:05
okay have a lot of Champa Bay
6:05
hats is opening
6:08
day double
6:11
race it's kind of a neat little
6:12
throwback style little
6:15
Snapback I like this I am probably going
6:18
to buy
6:19
this yeah I'm not I'm not going to get
6:21
it now $48 I get it on the way
6:24
out that I'm going to get people have
6:27
asked me my prediction for the guy so
6:28
the te I think the have a great team
6:30
they're going against the Rockies which
6:31
in my opinion don't have a great lineup
6:34
this year so I think the total score is
6:36
going to be 8 to2 rays are going to win
6:39
8 to2 and they're going to have at least
6:42
three home runs by the Rays below camera
6:46
and maybe one other person will hit a
6:48
home run so see how close to 8 to2 an 8
6:51
to2 win for the rise I can get give or
6:52
take a run what the heck is this why is
6:55
Mickey on a Tampa Bay is this like a a
6:58
could could they possibly be going to
7:00
the Disney Wild World of Sports later on
7:02
and moving to Disney what the I mean I
7:04
don't know what let me uh what the heck
7:07
why is Mickey on a Tampa Bay Ray shirt
7:09
this is my full outfit for the day of
7:10
course got the the uh relief pitch stash
7:14
going on here I got the Hat the over
7:16
shirt and the undershirt
7:18
there I think the stash works well for
7:21
Baseball opening day stash it's an
7:23
opening day stash definitely going to
7:24
take some getting used to it but I got
7:26
to be honest I don't dislike it I don't
7:29
just like it so far cruising around
7:31
towards where right field is there's
7:34
another entrance over here as well very
7:37
interesting how they covered up a lot of
7:38
the NY New York Yankees symbols and all
7:42
that all around the stadium there's
7:43
usually a huge NY over here towards
7:46
where the rightfield Terrace is as
7:48
you're going towards another pop-up gift
7:49
shop for the Rays and they've covered it
7:52
with like a big box and they put all the
7:54
the you know Tampa Bay insignias on it
7:57
and whatnot also got to give DJ Kitty of
8:00
fistbump haven't seen DJ Kitty since
8:02
last season so it's cool to see DJ Kitty
8:05
and and uh he seems very excited about
8:07
the 2025 season in a different
8:10
Stadium all right not too
8:13
far until it is
8:23
time DJ kidy down there I even see
8:23
Raymond
8:25
now we are doing a lot of standing in
8:28
the seats I got are out way out in right
8:31
field I don't know how often we're going
8:33
to be out there just kind of just
8:35
wandering around
8:37
but it is definitely an interesting
8:40
feeling knowing that the rays are going
8:42
to play baseball in their temporary home
8:46
field for the first
8:47
time having home field advantage if you
8:50
want to call it that in an outdoor
8:52
