Remember how we told you that Adrian Beltre thinks the Pfister Hotel in Milwaukee is haunted? Well, I'm guessing he's not a fan of The Vinoy, a St. Petersburg hotel that visiting teams often frequent when playing the Devil Rays. From the Palm Beach Post:Through the years, the historic landmark has become known as much for its comfortable rooms and scenic surroundings as it has for its alleged paranormal amenities - from faucets turning on themselves to the unidentified ghostly couple appearing in the top tower.I'm sure Guardado appreciates being outed, Miguel. But at least Everyday Eddie can take solace in the fact that he's not the only one spooked. Numerous other players have spoken up over the years, and Pirates strength coordinator Frank Velasquez and Reds reliever Scott Williamson in particular both swear they've seen a ghost in their room -- their accounts can be found in this preview of the upcoming book Haunted Baseball, which has a whole chapter dedicated to The Vinoy.
[Mariners catcher Miguel] Olivo said he has never seen anything odd at the Vinoy, but a few of his Seattle Mariners teammates were spooked a few years ago by strange noises and sightings. "Eddie Guardardo was so scared, he left the hotel,'' Olivo said.
