How 2 cowbells and my wasted parents put the Rays in the 2011 playoffs

It was on September 3rd, 2011 that I attended my last Rays game, and it would be the most eventful game I had ever been to.

In my young life, I have attended just 10 major league games over that course of time, with the Rays being involved in nine. The first came during the team's historic 15 game losing streak in 2002. I went to one more that year and watched Randy Winn collide with a rookie left fielder and can remember thinking that the left fielder (Carl Crawford) was awful.
