allowed on this road and there probably
1:37
no raise fans allowed at Coors Field
1:40
I've had some experiences there before
1:42
also side note this challenge I have I'm
1:45
only counting stadiums where the rays
1:47

1:49
stadium once before for a few Innings
1:51

2:18
at Coors Field today than the Rays had
2:20
their opening day and before heading
2:22
downtown before I forget wanted to take
2:24

2:33
didn't approve of having this in there I
2:35
don't even take this into baseball games

5:56
movies dare I say one of my favorite
5:58
baseball movies but they also have the
6:00
other one I've never seen the seavo
6:01
special which is the bat boys bat that
6:05
he gives to Roy Hobs at the end of the
