See which stocks soared and which ones dropped in 2020

Socially distancing proved to be a boon for two publicly traded companies in the Tampa-St. Petersburg area.

Lazydays Holdings (Nasdaq: LAZY), a Seffner-based recreational vehicle dealer, and MarineMax (NYSE: HZO), a Clearwater recreational boat and yacht retailer, each posted triple-digit stock price gains, as buyers flocked to the open road and water after being cooped up at home.

Swinging for the fences: The life and legend of Dick Crippen

Despite a resume longer than the tri-oval track at Daytona after 200 laps, the dean of Tampa Bay sportscasting swears his career was a combination of luck, timing and a willingness to try new things. “I always loved sports,” Dick Crippen says. “I played some sports but I never intended to go into it. But once I got into it, I just got immersed. And I couldn’t have been happier.”

Crippen, 80, retired last week as Senior Advisor to the Tampa Bay Rays. A combination of community relations, PR, consulting, charity work, voiceover recording and lots of rubber-chicken dinners, it’s essentially the same job he signed on for in 1999, he says, only back then his title was Executive Director of Community Development (the “senior” designation, he likes to joke, is merely a reference to his grey hair).
