Advice to former players: Stay out of Tampa
2006-04-21 08:21

No this isn't about the Devil Rays (who are in St. Petersburg), but rather about the actual city of Tampa.

Former big leaguer Derek Bell was arrested in Tampa and charged with felony possession of cocaine. Dwight Gooden is now serving jail time on drug charges that he committed in Tampa.

Maybe the advice should be: Don't do crack!
I guess the only thing Derek did actually say no to was breaking a sweat in spring training.

It looks like the Tampa police have put their own Operation Shutdown in action against Bell.

I couldn't figure out how to make that joke work.

I'm glad someone else did.

Wasn't Gary Sheffield shot in the buttocks while in Tampa, many moons ago? Or am I imagining things?
