The Tampa Bay Rays
October 22, 2008, 8:51 am (3 years ago)The Tampa Bay Rays left a new record in the baseball history Sunday night by defeating the Boston Red Sox to book their 1st ever appearance in a World Series.
Previous to the season began, Tampa Bay were 200/1 long shots to win the World Series, but they crushed the shielding champion Boston Red Sox in a exciting 7-game playoff fight and will at present confront the Philadelphia Phillies for the title of World Champions.
Established 10 years ago, the Rays had ranked in last place in their 5-team division only once previous to when they piped the Toronto Blue Jays into 2nd bottom in 2004. Additionally, the team had only won over 70 of the 162 games played each season twice previous to their unanticipated run this year.
