I’ve always enjoyed Rays Fan Fest. It’s a great time to frankly enjoy the ballpark without the distraction of … well baseball! For several years in a row it’s been a tradition of mine. My girlfriend and I would have lunch at the Brewhouse, play some games and take lots of pictures. I’ve heard quite a bit of chatter on social about the expense of autographs and all I’ll say about that is that through the year most of the players make a point to sign at some point before every game. If you want to guarantee the autograph of your favorite player though Fan Fest is certainly a great place to do it. There’s also lots of charitable opportunities including Joe Maddon’s Thanksmas. Also it’s another great opportunity to grab some of the new Rays gear and check out some of the retro stuff in the Charity Yard Sale. I’ve always thought too it’s a great opportunity to meet Rays fans in a very relaxed atmosphere. Tweet Up anyone?
