About this book

The crowd at Tropicana Field goes wild as soon as the ball hits Iwamura’s hands. As he steps on second base, the fans know they’re going to the World Series. After a torrid decade of finishing in last place nine times, with a win percentage of just .398, they’ve vanquished the mighty Red Sox to finally taste success.

Any fan of the Tampa Bay Rays knows the value of staying patient and optimistic. With four East Division titles now to their name, the Rays’ early period of toil and futility is now a story of grit and determination. In this book, fans can go back to 1995 and relive the history of their team, through over 140 pages of authentic newspaper reports from the Orlando Sentinel.

Highs and lows of the team’s time as the Devil Rays are covered, as reporters wonder if this floundering franchise will ever find its feet. And then with that legendary 2008 defeat of the Red Sox, there’s a whole new era to enjoy, right up to recent seasons.

Are the pages real, or reproductions of newspapers?

The pages are scans of original newspaper pages. Every effort has been made to clean up scans to make them as clear as possible. In some instances there will be blemishes and the reproduction quality may not be as clear or precise as copying directly from the actual papers itself.
