Know Thine Enemy 2009: Tampa Bay Rays

Written on April 2nd, 2009 by Evan Brunell3 Comments

The Tampa Bay Rays are coming off their first successful season in the history of the franchise. Finally, they’re not considered doormats with no vision of the future. Now the Pirates stand alone there. (Even the Royals are much improved!)
