Mayor Baker invites you to a Rays party

SEPTEMBER 25, 2008

ST. PETERSBURG -- Mayor Rick Baker and City Council Chairman James Bennett are inviting all baseball fans to a celebration when -- they did not say if -- the Tampa Bay Rays clinch the American League East Division title.

That could happen as early as this afternoon, if the Rays beat the Detroit Tigers.The Rays also play the Tigers on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

When it happens -- not if, remember -- a street party will be held next to the popular sports bar Ferg's, which is at 1320 Central Ave., across from Tropicana Field.
