Tampa Bay Rays

Tampa Bay Rays

The Tampa Bay Rays are an American professional baseball team based in the Tampa Bay area. The Rays compete in Major League Baseball as a member club of the American League East Division. They are one of two major league clubs based in Florida, alongside the National League's Miami Marlins. The team plays its home games at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida. Following nearly three decades of unsuccessfully trying to gain an expansion franchise or enticing existing teams to relocate to the Tampa Bay area, an ownership group led by Vince Naimoli was approved on March 9, 1995. The team began play as the Tampa Bay Devil Rays in the 1998 Major League Baseball season. The team's first decade of play was marked by futility; they finished in last place in the AL East in all but the 2004 season, when they finished second to last.
