We are learning a lot about the Tampa Bay Rays as they have staved off elimination in three of five games played in the 2019 playoffs, but one of the clearest lessons is this:
The fans LOVE Ji-Man Choi!
His name has rung out among the fans as they have supported the Rays in full force this post-season over and over and over again!
Ji-Man Choi!
Ji-Man Choi!
Ji-Man Choi!
So, of course, we had to make it a t-shirt!
You can get your Ji-Man Chant shirt here!
Much to the continued delight of the crowd and the Rays, Ji-Man Choi was excellent for Tampa Bay during their two home games of the series as he launched a solo home run during game three on Monday and then he singled and drew three walks during Tuesday’s game four.
The chant has been pervasive!
Fun piece of history: The Trop was specifically designed in 1986 to cater to “Ji-Man Choi” chants

After chants of "Ji-Man Choi!" filled the Trop Monday, a Ji-Man Choi fan club has emerged. https://t.co/QXG38XI4YB pic.twitter.com/khQEwlvPR6

On Thursday, the Rays will head to Houston for a pivotal game five as they look to advanced to the American League Championship Series for the first time since their 2008 run to the World Series, and Ji-Man Choi will look to be a main cog in the Rays engine.
We can’t get enough of the Ji-Man Choi love.
Join us in celebrating him with this shirt!!!
