I grew up Tampa Bay Devil Rays fan and let me tell you, it was rough.
They almost never won, their star players received little attention from national sports media such as ESPN and Fox Sports. If they had a star player he was probably injured, quickly traded, or he flamed out badly.
Whenever they did win, or at least managed something memorable, it was always fun to try to catch a glimpse of the highlights on Baseball Tonight or Sports Center.
So I’d sit patiently, watching endless highlights of other teams’ stars, or listening to long expositions breaking down some All-Star from a bigger market.
