The manager of the American League Champion Tampa Bay Rays, Joe Maddon, is going to get married this week. His honeymoon will lead him to Italy, the Czech Republic and Germany. And he is hoping to see Rays fans in Europe.
“I’m hoping to be recognized in Europe, because that would truly indicate that the Tampa Bay Rays have arrived on the continent,” the 54-year-old Maddon said. “That was one of my goals prior to the season.”
Maddon said he would love to place a Rays cap on the head of the statue of David.
“My main objective is to see somebody wearing Rays gear,” he said. “So in one of those places, I want to see somebody wearing some form of it. And I shall take a photograph. I’ll ask that person to pose.”
So Baseball fans and readers from Mister-Baseball.com in these countries, wear your Rays gear in the next couple of weeks and if you recognize Maddon on the street, ask him, why he didn’t start David Price in the continuation of game five in the World Series against the Philadelphia Phillies. Just kidding.
