The Great Tropicana Field Blackout of 2019 (part 2) and a historical cycle
I lived through the great Tropicana Field Backout of 2019 (part 2). Yes, the Rays lost, but I got to see Shohei Ohtani hit for the cycle and, just to top it off, Albert Pujols hit his 645th career home run. I was impressed that the fans around me knew that Ohtani had hit for the cycle (nothing was announced over the PA) and that he received a standing ovation from many of the Rays fans.
