This is a game to be savored, not gulped. There's time to discuss everything between pitches or between innings. - Bill Veeck

What's all this?

You are viewing the soft-launch of the new RaysBB, a would-be catalog of all sorts of information related to the Tampa Bay Rays organization into a single, more-convenient location. We aim to provide a suitable location for bringing together a lot of information that is scattered, unorganized or inconvenient.

I wanna help

Let me know with an email to admin at raysbb dot com.

The help of anyone familiar with the (Devil) Rays organization and/or has experience with the MediaWiki platform and/or a decent eye for editing and/or data entry is welcome. If you're OK putting together templates and navigation schemes, that's even more awesome. If you happen to have a lot of info on a minor league affiliate or just happen to love one particular obscure player or can expound at-length on the subtle uniform differences between the 2002 and 2003 Devil Rays seasons, we'll find a place for it.

What this is not

• A locker room.
• A free-for all.
• A replacement for Wikipedia, Baseball-Reference, or the myriad of Rays-related fora and blogs.

Future hopes and expectations

• An entry on every player to play in a game for a Rays or Rays-affiliated team (Not a novel or anything; at least an acknowledgement of where they played and when in the organization).
• Box scores for all games possible (This is no problem for the big league team, thanks to awesome resources like RetroSheet, but it becomes more difficult the lower in the minors and further back you go).
• Researched information that covers a wide range of topics related to Tampa Bay's Major League Baseball franchise.
