My vote for Tampa has nothing to do with the quality of the Rays players. It just that if you have to get rid of a team, you get rid of the one that you will miss the least. Since there were no Rays when I was a child (only Tarpons), they can safely exit my baseball consciousness with a only a modicum of regret. Also any team named for a state, rather than the city they play, should be ostracized (except the Minnesota Twins, the only team with a legitimate reason for their moniker).
