For some reason Rays manager Joe Maddon arranged for a 20-foot snake to be brought into the clubhouse before today’s game and Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times snapped a photo:

I kind of hope the Rays win tonight and then hanging out with a huge snake before every game becomes their superstition.
