from John Romano of the Tampa Bay Times,
The recent departures of Evan Longoria and Gerald McCoy and Nikita Kucherov’s recent crowning as the NHL’s MVP got the folks in the Tampa Bay Times Sports department wondering: Who is the face of Tampa Bay sports now?
I think it’s Steven Stamkos, and it’s probably not close.
But what about the other U.S. sports markets our size, with at least three franchises in North America’s traditional four major-league sports? This is not a scientific list. We did not check Q ratings, sneaker sales or endorsement deals.
