Tampafag here. I've been a fan of the Rays since year one (before that, the Braves and Marlins, I was too young to settle for one.) I finally got to go to baseball games within an hour's drive.
Sure they were bad, but I remained confident that the [Devil] Rays would get better. The Diamondbacks (the other new team) beating the Yankees in '01 solidified those beliefs.
I wasn't expecting to wait another 7 years, but holy shit it's our first winning season, 90 win season, playoff berth, AND AL East title after not winning for than 70 games in a single season for a decade. It's kind of a big deal, so plenty of Floridians are going to strongly support the Rays now that the Rays are worth supporting. I mean, they were a laughingstock for a while, now all of a sudden they can go to the World Series and then maybe even WIN it. Worst to first? It's possible.
Of course NOW I'm worried about the Rays. I serisouly don't think that the Rays can win this series, but this season they've surprised in more ways than one, so I'll take the Rays in 7.
