The Trop is empty, but Rays Team Store is open

ST. PETERSBURG -- The Tampa Bay Rays play in Boston this afternoon, but you can still go to the team store at Tropicana Field in case you've been hungering for a new ball cap or a T-shirt commemorating the  American League Championship Series.

After earning a playoff berth, the Team Store began staying open from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sundays, unless there is a home game. When there is a home game, the store opens when the Trop's gates open.

In the regular season, the store was only open on game days.

Only a few people were milling about the store this morning. Going into the store when it is not filled with a game-day crowd means it's easier to see all kinds of merchandise you might have overlooked before: like the baseball seam key chain, or the Rays dress shirts.

And just for the record: The $1 playoff special cowbells are still in stock.
