Craig Pittman launches his latest book tomorrow at Tombolo Books in St. Pete in conversation with the journalist and author Tamara Lush.

• "The State You’re In: Florida Men, Florida Women, and other Wildlife" is a "love story involving the most tattooed woman in the world, a deep dive into the state’s professional mermaid industry, and an investigation of a battle between residents of a nudist resort and the U.S. Postal Service."
• Tickets are $5.

Why it matters: Pittman has covered the wild side of Florida for more than 30 years, and the book is a collection of columns that have appeared in the Tampa Bay Times and other outlets.

To lure more fans to the Trop, the Rays are offering $10 tickets and discounted concessions for the final 10 home games of the regular season.

• Thousands of tickets will see their prices reduced, starting Thursday, per the Tampa Bay Times.
• Concession specials include $5 beers, $4 sodas and $5 popcorn and candy.

Our thought bubble: Honestly not too far off from some of your proposals last week to lure in more fans. (We're not holding our breath for the Rays-subsidized party bus, though.)

Something that won't help: Rays phenom Wander Franco left Friday’s 10-4 loss to the Tigers at Comerica Park with right hamstring tightness and was placed on the 10-day injured list over the weekend, MLB.com reports.

Tampa Bay dominated the Swim for Alligator Lighthouse over the weekend.

• The 8-mile open-water swim in the waters of Islamorada raises college scholarship funds for Keys students interested in competitive swimming.
• The yearly race also raises money to restore the 148-year-old Alligator Reef Lighthouse and other aging Keys lighthouses.

Our winners: Connor Signorin, 29, of Tampa, beat out more than 460 participants to finish in a little over three hours — 3:05:37, to be exact, per the AP.

• Brooke Bennett, a three-time Olympic gold medalist from Clearwater, finished as the top woman at 3:19:20.
• Andrew Lashlee and Robert Skaggs of Tampa were the fastest in the two-person relay division at 4:03:58.
