Hall of Fan Fame

The Tampa Bay Devil Rays annouced their latest addition to their Fan Wall of Fame. She's called "The Sampler":

Because of Dennis, who has held two season tickets to all eight seasons, 223 different people have attended - or sampled - Devil Rays home games.

"And I turned quite a few into fans," said Dennis, who lives in Holmes Beach.

Nominated by her sister, Diane Wallace, Dennis was one of six Rays fans to be enshrined Saturday on the Wall of Fame that adorns the Tropicana Field rotunda.

"You have to be a true baseball fan to be a Devil Ray fan," Dennis said.

Very true.

The part about having to be a true fan to be a Devil Rays fan is so true it's painful. I think the 12 people who've committed to the Rays though are really going to be rewarded when that team finally gets off the ground due to their young talent in the next few years.

In fact I think that original dozen fans should form some kind of posse and petition courts to be the only ones who are legally allowed to call themsevles Devil Rays fans.
