Rays hold 'Star Trek Night' at Tropicana Field (Video)

Found September 21, 2012 on Holdout Sports:
TEAMS: Tampa Bay Rays
The Tampa Bay Rays hosted their first ever "Star Trek Night" at Tropicana Field during Thursday night's game against the Boston Red Sox.


Fans were encouraged to attend the game in Star Trek costumes, so many fans dressed as Klingons and Star Fleet officers.

We couldn't help but notice that there weren't many younger fans dressed in costume, unlike "Star Wars" nights held throughout the league where costumes were worn by fans of all ages. We would also be curious how that Klingon was allowed to bring that "sword" into the park, as that could have been dangerous.
