Dear Tommy Pham: The Rays have a fanbase!

Yesterday Tommy Pham told MLB radio that he misses playing in front of enthusiastic Cardinals fans, shining some familiar light on the Rays stadium location problem.

To hear the truth told plainly can hurt. To hear it from your team’s best hitter?

I think I speak for many Rays fans when I say: “Ouch.”

Many of us have fallen hard for Tommy; apparently that relationship has been pretty one-sided so far.

If you dive into the assorted Twitter responses you’ll find fans from around the country agreeing that the Rays have no fans, alongside local fans pushing back against Pham’s apparent disrespect.
