Dhani Jones talks bow ties with the Rays at Tropicana Field.
The Rays got nerdy for a good cause last week, sporting bow ties on their road trip to Boston.
On Friday, former NFL linebacker Dhani Jones -- founder of the Bow Tie Cause -- took in his first game at Tropicana Field as a guest of the team.
"When I was younger, I played baseball," said Jones. "So I got to watch it from the stands. But being on the field is kind of amazing."
Jones chatted at length with fellow bow tie connoisseur Joe Maddon, as well as extraordinary nerds Elliot Johnson, Sean Rodriguez and Matt Joyce.
