Hola!  Whoever came up with this idea is a genius and deserves a big raise ... Combining two American  past times for a wonderful afternoon!

The TradeWinds Island Grand, the Official Beach Resort of the Tampa Bay Rays, are inviting all baseball fans to head out to St. Pete Beach for a fun-filled game watching parties all season long!

The "away" games will be broadcast on a huge screen right on the the beach.  A delicious cookout, perfect for the beach, will be available for purchase. It is open to all fans and admission is complimentary. Parking will also be free at both TradeWinds properties - the Island Grand and the neighboring Sandpiper, until the lots are full!

When will these fun beach afternoons take place?  Here is the schedule:

• Thursday, May 7 - 7:05 p.m.  vs. New York Yankees
• Sunday, June 7 - 1:05 p.m. vs. New York Yankees
• Sunday, July 19 - 2:10 p.m.  vs. Kansas City Royals
• Sunday, August 30 - 1:05 p.m. vs. Detroit Tigers
• Sunday, September 12 - 1:35 p.m. vs. Boston Red Sox 

The Radio station 620 WDAE "The Sports Animal" will broadcast live and will be doing prize giveaways!  You can't go wrong here ... beach and baseball!! 

Have fun! Ciao!
