Anglers set their fishing lines off the coast of El Salvador and waited. When they eventually hauled in their catch, they realized they’d snagged a “rare” 3-foot-wide sea creature. It turned out to be a first-of-its-kind catch.

George Steinbrenner Field is playing host to Tampa Bay for all of the 2025 season. The Rays are playing in Tampa and had Frank Morsanti gotten his way back in the 1980's and early '90's Tampa would have been their home all along.
