Sometimes, baseball isn’t about the game — it’s about the air conditioning.
On one particularly scorching Florida vacation, I found unexpected relief inside Tropicana Field, home of the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. With temperatures outside soaring past 95 degrees and humidity thick enough to chew, my travel companions and I made a game-time decision — literally — to buy tickets to not one, but two Rays games during the same trip.
Were we die-hard fans? Not exactly. But the promise of ice-cold air, stadium snacks, and a seat under the dome made us honorary Rays supporters for a couple of nights.
We watched foul balls, home runs, and a few confused seagulls flying near the rafters — all from the comfort of cool air and indoor seating. It wasn’t about the scoreboard; it was about surviving the heatwave in style.
That vacation taught me two things: air conditioning is a luxury worth paying for, and sometimes, the best sports memories come from the most unexpected places.
