Did you know that the attendance record for The Trop is 48,044 on January 27, 2024 for the WWE Royal Rumble? (By far the best behaved crowd at any event I have ever worked!) WWE www.thereisnoplacelikedome.com
I worked 16 years as an usher (Fan Host) at Tropicana Field. The book contains heartwarming and humorous stories through my eyes'.
There is a copy in the Library Collection at the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown.

Yesterday while speaking about the book I decided to get some of the people there to experience a little of what it was like to celebrate 10 strikeouts at The Trop! Another way to let people know that truly There Is No Place Like Dome! (those hats and flags bring back a lot of great memories for me)

Feel free to stop by as we chat about life at The Trop from the stands with the fans. Optional lunch buffet is $19. Great way to start the second half of the season! Westminster Palms is located at 939 Beach Drive NE. SPECIAL GUEST APPEARANCE-RAYMOND!

I am looking forward to being with the incomparable Raymond on Friday for a speaking engagement and book signing. (He is still trying to find his picture in the book.) Rays Up!

In an attempt to add even more excitement in our Trop-when a Rays player hits a home run in my section (116-118) a Rays fan gets to wear the Home Run Derby for awhile to celebrate. (see pages 73-77 in the book). Here is a recent derby model who also sells 50-50 tickets! Baseball is fun and homers make it even more fun!
