Record-breaking Day
No we're not talking about the number of times Rays baserunnners have been thrown out today (three).
Today's sellout crowd of 36,048 marked the first time in club history that the Rays have recorded back-to-back home sellouts (The capacity of Tropicana Field has been reduced by tarps in the upper deck).
Also, the 123,806 fans who attended the four-game Yankees series marks the fourth highest attended series in franchise history.
