Hawkeytown, Florida

Not all of the Chicago jerseys in Tropicana Field hang in the visiting clubhouse today.

When the Rays leave St. Petersburg for Toronto after today's game, they won't be sporting their typical Sunday best. In honor of the Stanley Cup Finals, which began last night with Chicago's 6-5 win over Philly, the Rays will all be wearing NHL jerseys in one of manager Joe Maddon's "themed road trips." In September of 2008, the team embarked on an "Ed Hardy" road trip to Toronto, and have done "all-white" and "urban cowboy" themes in the past, as well.

Apparently, the Blackhawks have shipped 33 jerseys to the team, and Maddon, who said he grew up a Blues fan, will don No. 11, for Chicago's John Madden.

"It's going to be kinda fun," he said, standing on the top steps of the dugout before the game. "The Blues aren't in the Stanley Cup this year, so we're celebrating Stanley Cup week and the national pastime of hockey."

The good-natured manager smiled and added, "And my middle name is John...so it works."
