TAMPA BAY RAYS
Tampa Bay is one of the most recent additions to Major League Baseball joining the league in 1998 along with Arizona. The first ten seasons of play in Tampa were unsuccessful as the Rays finished in last place in the AL East in all but the 2004 season.
The franchise was originally known as the “Devil Rays” and changed the name to just “Rays” after the 2007 season when Stuart Stemberg became the team’s principal owner. The Rays have yet to win a World Series title, but they have a strong fan base, especially in Florida.
Fans can watch the complete Tampa Bay schedule on FOX Sports Sun. National broadcasts can be viewed on MLB Network and FOX Sports. Games can also be watched on live stream via MLB.TV or using the FOX Sports GO app.
HOME OF THE RAYS
The Rays play their complete home schedule at Tropicana Field, a domed stadium located in St. Petersburg, Florida. Originally known as the Florida Suncoast Dome, Tropicana Field has been the Ray’s home since their first season in 1998. The stadium is named for Tropicana Products which is located in nearby Bradenton.
Tropicana Field is the smallest MLB stadium in terms of seating capacity. Obstructed view seating is now covered with tarps leaving room for 25,000 fans for Rays’ games.
CHAMPIONSHIP HISTORY
After 10 straight losing seasons, Tampa Bay finally had a winning season in 2008. It was also the first time the Rays won the AL East Division. Tampa Bay would win the AL Division series over the White Sox and the league championship series over the Red Sox to advance to the team’s only World Series. Tampa Bay lost in five games to Philadelphia.
Since 2008, the Rays have won just one more AL East title (2010) and qualified for the postseason four times (2010, 2011, 2013, and 2019). Tampa Bay was an MLB wild card in 2011, 2013, and 2019.
THE RAYS’ BEST
With a short history, the Rays have just one player inducted into the Hall of Fame – Wade Boggs – who earned his trip to the Hall for his play in Boston where he spent 11 years. Third baseman Evan Longoria, who is still in the majors with San Francisco, spent the first 11 years of his MLB career with Tampa Bay. He was the AL Rookie of the Year in 2008 and a three-time All-Star. It was Longoria’s walk-off 12th-inning home run in the final game of the 2011 season that sent the Rays to the postseason.
Pitcher David Price was the first player selected in the 2008 MLB draft. In seven years in Tampa Bay, Price was a four-time All-Star. Posting a 20-5 record with a 2.56 ERA in 2012, Price was the AL wins leader and won the AL Cy Young Award.
Outfielder Carl Crawford was a second-round pick of the Rays in 1999. He made his MLB debut in 2002 and went on to play nine seasons in Tampa. Crawford was a four-time All-Star and won a Gold Glove award in 2010. Once a highly touted college football prospect, Crawford won the AL stolen base crown four times (2003, 2004, 2006, 2007).
