The Citi Never Sleeps

The Rays will use Citi Field as their home away from home next week when they play the Yankees:

Two weeks after the Rays opened their home for the displaced Astros following Hurricane Harvey, Tampa Bay is on the other side of the equation as Hurricane Irma makes its way toward Florida.

MLB announced Friday that the Rays’ three-game series against the Yankees will be moved from Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg to Citi Field, the home of the Mets. The games will be played on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday as originally scheduled, and the Rays will be the home team.

So a semi-neutral site. Yankees fans, in reality, will get some bonus games.

My sister is vacationing at Disney World. They were supposed to fly home tomorrow, but that’s not happening. Disney is putting them up and keeping them safe. Given the infrastructure there, it’s likely the safest place in Florida.
