Say what you will about the baseball fans of the Tampa Bay region, but they know a good deal when they see one. And deals don't get much better than free. Eagerly taking the Rays up on their offer of 20,000 free tickets for Wednesday night's regular season home finale, fans began lining up several hours before ticket windows opened at Tropicana Field and all the freebies were doled out in less than 90 minutes.
Distribution to fans -- one per person, first-come, first-served -- began at 4:45 p.m. and the final ticket was handed out at 6:10. No word on how many were left standing in line at that point, but they undoubtedly had the option of purchasing whatever tickets remained.
The ticket giveaway ensures a full house or something close to it for Wednesday's game against the Orioles, which will serve as a post-celebration send-off before the Rays head to Kansas City to close out the regular season with four games there.
