Rays Invite 20-Foot Snake Into Clubhouse

If you thought the Tampa Bay Rays were over the top with their road trip dress-up themes, wait until you see this.

The Rays celebrated the Chinese Zodiac’s Year of the Snake by bringing a 20-foot python from Busch Gardens into the home clubhouse.

Something tells me this was manager Joe Maddon’s idea – so I’m glad to see he was right in the thick of things with his arms around “Asia.”
