There have been many seasons in many other towns that exceeded what was accomplished in Tampa Bay this summer. No argument there. There have been seasons with similar magic and seasons of even greater surprise. That also is true. But around here, this 162-game season will forever be unique. Because of the players, because of the games, because of the drama. And so it is up to you to remember it. Remember it all, so the world does not forget what happened in Tampa Bay in the fall of 2011.
