A postseason farewell to the exuberant, fashion-forward Rays fans

While the Rays' October has come to an end, the fans at Tropicana Field absolutely brought it to what would ultimately be the final game of Tampa Bay's season. Check out these awesome outfits and top-notch #FANtasking:

What better to compliment a 2008 American League Champions T-shirt than a baseball-themed balloon headband?
