TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — This is the first time the Tampa Bay Rays and New York Yankees, the division rivals, will face each other this season.
It’s also the first time the Yankees are visitors at Steinbrenner Field.
The Yankees are about to be the road team in their own building for four games, and they will face heavy-hitter Aaron Judge.
Some of the Yankees players admitted earlier in the week that it would be a little awkward. The Yankees will have to use the visiting clubhouse and dugout in their own home.
Judge said the “weirdest thing” will be using the visiting dugout. He said he’ll have to be mindful of not accidentally wandering toward the Rays’ bench.
