Rays fan isn't your typical hot dog
ST. PETERSBURG -- Robbie Maher sensed that this day was near. The playoff-bound Rays. A sold-out Tropicana Field. The first-ever postseason game in Tampa Bay's otherwise woebegone baseball history.
"I knew it was going to be a big year," said Maher, 23, who works at Caddy's on the Beach in Treasure Island.
Today he came prepared: He wore a giant hot dog costume to the game.
"It's a symbol for baseball," he said. "I've been waiting for this for 10 years."
No, not to wear the hot dog costume -- for the playoff game.
At least that's what we think he meant.
