In case you didn't know, Tampa Bay is a Mickey Mouse Organization
If you haven't heard the news (judging by the teams involved, you haven't), the Tampa Bay Devil Rays have agreed to play one regular season series in Wald Disney World. On May 15-17, the Texas Rangers will travel to the Happiest Place on Earth to face the Devil Rays for a three game set. Can we just oust this damn team already? The Rays are a complete waste of space. When they take one step forward, they take fifteen backwards. Major League Baseball has revenue sharing which is supposed to create parity. It isn't working as well as intended, but that's another argument. The Rays do NOTHING to make themselves competitive, barring having Ty Wiggington in the starting lineup. It has a bag of crap stadium. Finally, besides the home opener (wishful thinking), it will be the only home games that the Devil Rays will sell out this year... not hard since the stadium at Disney's Wide World of Sports seats a minor league friendly 9,500.
The only thing that should save this team would be a fairy tale run through the playoffs. Since that won't happen, they can at least give their players the fairy tale of playing to a packed house for three home games in a row, reardless of capacity.

don't fret.. disney will lose interest in a couple of years just like they did with the Los Angeles California Angels of Aneheim
I thought they were just an extention of MLB's farm system. They groom players and then lose them to the big dogs wallets. Kinda sad, maybe they can wish upon a star.
