Joe Maddon is back after his European honeymoon with his wife Gaye. And one of his goals came through.
Maddon, you might call, vowed to find someone wearing Tampa Bay Rays apparel in Europe. A pretty good trick, since, two years ago, you couldn’t find anyone doing that in St. Petersburg.
“Found a guy in the Rome train station,” the Rays manager said. “He was wearing a Rays cap. He was from the Tampa area, but that counts. Got a photo and a name.”
His next assignment is tougher: Find someone wearing Clipper stuff in L.A.
