About our Tampa Bay Rays news
Latest news on the Tampa Bay Rays, a professional baseball team based in St. Petersburg, Florida. Established in 1998 as an expansion team, they are a member of the American League (AL) East division in Major League Baseball (MLB). Originally known as the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, the team shortened its name to the Rays in 2008, with a new focus on the concept of a ray of sunshine, reflecting the Florida climate.
While the Rays have not yet won a World Series championship, they have experienced some success in their relatively short history. They made two appearances in the Fall Classic, in 2008 and 2020, and have captured three AL East division titles. The team's colors are navy blue, light blue, yellow, and white, with a distinctive logo featuring a stylised ray of sunlight.
The Rays play their home games at Tropicana Field, a domed stadium located in St. Petersburg, which has been their home since the team's inception. The stadium is known for its unique features, including a touch tank with live rays in the outfield.
