Pitching in

Without, as team president Matt Silverman said, "one obvious choice" to throw out a ceremonial first pitch for a playoff game, the Rays submitted a bunch of names to MLB for approval. Among the likely: Gov. Charlie Crist, ESPN analyst/season-ticket holder Dick Vitale, Ryder Cup captain/Bradenton resident Paul Azinger and U.S. Central Command leader Gen. David Petraeus.

Of those four, which would you choose?

Which reader comment best describes why attendance is so low at Rays games?

Dude, we're broke!
Look at the calendar: It's football season.
Common folk in this area don't have the liberty to spend money in this trying economy.
