It is very rare that a baseball team can spark so much excitement in the surrounding city, but this year the Tampa Bay Rays have the opportunity to beat both the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees and reach the playoffs for the first time in their short history.

With that growth has come an influx of fans – people that have always wanted to root for an underdog team and just now get to root for a team with one of the lowest payrolls of major league baseball that is succeeding with such authority.

And to get a front row seat, people are even moving to Tampa apartments in order to be able to attend the games.

It is surprising that apartments in Tampa would start to fill up just to watch a baseball team, but this is a baseball team that is about to defeat 2 giants. This is David against two different Goliaths, with only a team of youths leading the way.

Why that affects apartments for rent in Tampa may still be a mystery in some ways, but you cannot blame baseball fans for wanting a front row seat to what may become one of the best teams in the next decade.
