Tampa Bay Rays All-Time Greats
The eight greatest to ever wear the Tampa Bay navy and sunburst, from Carl Crawford's blazing speed to Evan Longoria's clutch October blasts.
The Rays began as the Tampa Bay Devil Rays in 1998 and spent a decade at the bottom before a shocking 2008 pennant announced their arrival. Playing on one of the game's smallest budgets, the franchise built a culture of pitching, defense, and undervalued talent that keeps it competitive.
