Dick Vitale has owned Tampa Bay Rays season tickets since the franchise’s inception and wants it known that he didn’t jump on the bandwagon for this magical year.
“I’ve been a die-hard Rays fan for 11 years now,” Vitale, the Hall of Fame ESPN college hoops analyst who grew up in North Jersey and now lives in Sarasota, Fla., said by phone Monday morning. “I’ve had season tickets. I love baseball. I’m passionate about the game.

Vitale is a Yankees fan, not a Rays fan. Kind of like Bill SImmons having seasons tickets to the Clippers but actually being a Celtics fan.
