Kevin Kennedy, Rays Broadcaster, Helps Thwart Airplane Attack ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - Tampa Bay Rays broadcaster and former major league manager Kevin Kennedy was among a group of eight men that subdued a man that threatened to blow up an airplane. A Delta Air Lines flight from Los Angeles to Florida was diverted to Albuquerque early Friday after a passenger sprayed the first-class cabin with a water bottle, tried to open a cabin door and threatened to blow up the aircraft. "When he started threatening bombs it was for real. I knew it was anyway," Kennedy said before Tampa Bay faced Toronto on Friday night. "We all kind of looked at him. The guy next to me, he was saying 'Hey buddy, let's calm down here.' We tried to talk him down but it wasn't happening. It was actually getting worse." Passengers on Delta flight 2148 to Tampa subdued Stanley Dwayne Sheffield, 46. Kevin Kennedy, Rays Broadcaster, Helps Thwart Airplane Attack
