In the end, Baseball City would be a bust and the huge royal blue Baseball City Stadium would face the ole' wrecking ball. Port Charlotte Stadium however would find a much better fate and several years after being abandoned by the Texas Rangers, it would be renovated and spruced up and become the spring home of the Tampa Bay Rays. The Royals and the Rangers meanwhile quickly became comfortable in their new spring home and each would begin playing
    much better baseball throughout the season because of it. While neither as of this writing had a World Series Championship in their hands after moving to Arizona, Surprise Stadium would produce a World Series team in the Texas Rangers in 2010 and 2011 and a ray of hope could actually be seen glimmering over the Kansas City Royals.
