BP EVENTS
On August 29, if you're in the Tampa/St. Pete area, join Will Carroll, Rays
GM Andrew Friedman, and more to talk about baseball, whether managing an
organization or an injury prior to the 7:10 p.m. start time of that night's
Rays game in St. Petersburg. It's a night at the ballpark that you won't want
to miss, but seating is extremely limited, so sign up or you'll miss out. For
