(AP Photo/… The Tampa Bay Rays are returning to Tropicana Field for Game 3 of the World Series, where they were forced to leave for a season due to Hurricane Milton's destruction. Nearly $60 million was spent to replace the roof and rebuild the stadium, and the Rays returned 18 1/2 months later to play their home games at Steinbrenner Field, the spring training home of the New York Yankees.
