Well, Lookie There: Rays Have a Fan or Three

by Chris Mottram • Jul 1, 2008 5:10 PM EDT

The Rays fans are sooo fired up about their first place team that they a) almost sold out game one of the team’s biggest series, um, ever last night, b) they have an (un)official superfan. Meet the Cowbell Kid, who makes up with enthusiasm what he lacks in grammar (warning: LOUD NOISES):

Yes, the “Rays” are America’s “new” team because they have so many “fans” who “pack” Tropicana Field with an average of 20,000 “diehards” at each “home” game.

But who am I to make fun of an adolescent fan base? I root for the Nationals. (That would be the Major League Baseball team based in D.C., FYI. There are people here in North Carolina that honestly have no clue who the Nationals are.)

(H/T: Big League Stew)

I wonder how long the “Cowbell Kid” has been roaming the stands of the “Trop”

By the by, that little kids with the cowbell is the type of kid I’d like to trip. Cocky jerk!

npcPronk29 must be a comedian. That was some seriously funny stuff right there. Way to judge someone you know nothing about and piss on the success of a good team.
