St. Pete flies Rays' flag

OCTOBER 09, 2008

ST. PETERSBURG- Mayor Rick Baker will raise a Tampa Bay Rays' flag at City Hall Friday at 5 p.m. in celebration of the team.

The city is also giving fans a chance to show their support for the Rays by autographing a banner at four locations throughout downtown tomorrow before the game. To participate, go to the Pier, the baseball shuttle stop at Central Avenue and Second Ave N., Ferg's or look for city employees with banners outside of the stadium tomorrow.

The banners will be presented to team owners and Joe Maddon.
