One of the things the Tampa Bay Rays can expect in 2009 after their trip to the World Series in 2008 is a lot more attention. They started to get a taste of it toward the end of last season and in the playoffs when they noticed they were no longer playing in front of 10,000 fans but instead full houses. This season the Rays will be playing in front of large crowds all year, and they're going to be finding themselves on national television a lot as well.Their new-found popularity has also had an impact on the team in spring training. They're noticing more Rays fans in the stands during spring training games, and apparently they're not all human. The team's newest fan seems to be a wild boar that made his way into the team's complex over the weekend, causing quite a stir.
