Fitting Saturday tribute
About 1,000 fans of the former Montreal Expos franchise were at the game, which at least made for good timing since Rays coaches Tom Foley and Dave Martinez both played there. "I spent seven years in Montreal, I loved it there," Foley said. "I was kind of sad to see them fold it up. It's a great city, good people. The people that came to the games were true fans. Hopefully someday they can get another ballclub back there."
Fitting Sunday tribute
The Blue Jays today will honor former 1B Carlos Delgado, installing him as the 10th member of their Level of Excellence. It's appropriate to do with the Rays in town, as he hit 32 of his 473 homers against them — second most to his 33 vs. the Yankees — including a four-homer game in 2003 and a three-homer game in 2001.
