He’s been living in Sarasota for a long time. We’ve run into him a couple times at Rays games over the years. He signed one of my brother’s hats at a game once and that had to be in the early 00s?

He has been the only person ever cheering for the Devil Rays/Rays. He isn't a bandwagoner at all

LINK

quote:

"I'm a faithful guy, a loyal guy, and I'll still buy tickets," Vitale said. "But I want to go and be in a competitive state. I want to see major-leaguers. I want to bring people into the stadium and say, there's Evan Longoria. There's Odorizzi. There's Alex Cobb."

Vitale called himself a "frustrated fan."

"We pay major-league prices. We want to see major-league baseball," he said. "I have nothing against the young kids they're getting. Prospects, prospects, prospects. But it's just not fair. It's not fair to the fans. It's not fair to Chris Archer, to Kevin Kiermaier. And it's just very frustrating."


But ya bandwagon

he always supports the local pro teams.

You haven’t heard Dick mention Siesta Key in a broadcast? He must do so at least every other one
