Tampa Bay Rays history
Tampa Bay spent nearly three decades chasing a big-league team before a group led by Vince Naimoli won approval on March 9, 1995. Play began in 1998 under the name Devil Rays. That first decade was grim, with last-place finishes in the AL East every year except 2004, when they ended second to last.
Stuart Sternberg, who had bought control from Naimoli, dropped the Devil after the 2007 season, and the shorter Rays name now points to sunshine as well as manta rays. The change lined up with a breakout. In 2008 Tampa Bay posted its first winning record, won its first division title, and beat Boston for its first pennant before falling to Philadelphia in the World Series. Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg seats 25,025.
