Leave this team alone and take all the big market teams that spend hundreds of millions of dollars (Yankees) and do not even make it to the World Series

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).
