B.J. Upton’s Success: We Called It!
Sportswriters are falling all over themselves today describing the “worst to World Series” story of the Tampa Bay Rays, the long-standing doormat of the American League who began the season as 200-1 longshots to win the Fall Classic but locked up an appearance in baseball’s championship series last night with a win over the Boston Red Sox.
