Amusing story from Joe Cowley in today's Sun-Times. Apparently, the hotel the Sox (and other teams) stay at in St. Petersburg, Fla., while in town to play the Tampa Bay Rays is haunted.
Maybe that explains why Tampa Bay had the best home record (57-24) in baseball last season. None of their opponents got a good night's sleep at the Renaissance Vinoy Resort, which is said to have an excessive amount of paranormal activity on the fifth floor.
For the record, catcher A.J. Pierzynski and MLB.com writer Scott Merkin are the only two members of the Sox travelling party staying on the fifth floor this weekend as the team plays the Rays in a four-game set.
