All sorts of fans send all sorts of messages over Twitter to pro athletes. Very rarely are those fans of Dick Vitale's stature.
After Yankees outfielder Nick Swisher tweeted a message about starting the team's homestand off right with a win, Dickie V responded in an appropriate manner.
Vitale, a Rays fan, tweeted in all caps at Swisher, in effect shouting, "Let's GO RAYS BABY!"
Swisher didn't respond, but he didn't have to. With a mere 19 characters, Vitale struck a blow against the so-called "Yankees universe" on behalf of Rays fans everywhere.
