THE CHICAGO CUBS COME TO TAMPA by James W. Covington During its years of greatest glory between 1891 and 1920, the Tampa Bay Hotel was the principal stimulus for tourists to come to Tampa. It represented the grand hotels of the United States with spacious grounds, comfortable rooms, long and wide verandas, good food and suitable entertainment including a bar, professional hunter, boats, golf course, tennis courts and a casino where well-known actors and singers performed. In addition to these attractions, Henry B. Plant, builder and owner of the Tampa Bay Hotel, sponsored the first South Florida Fairs on land that he owned northwest of the hotel. In order to house the exhibits, an exhibition hall was built and race track constructed for the horse races common to such fairs.1 After the death of Plant in 1899, the fairs temporarily ceased, but local boosters soon developed other attractions.

You can see what they saw. You can picture the old man who sold deviled crabs at the gate, the gamblers who shouted from the stands that they had ten dollars at stake on your next play. If you stand still long enough on some of Tampa’s baseball fields, you can hear the crowds cheering, or, because nobody is all that polite in the ball field, booing. And if you try, you can reach back to the days of El Señor, Al Lopez, the city’s first Hall of Famer, and imagine the fantasies he fired in young men who wanted to do what he did, some of whom succeeded beyond what they ever dreamed.
