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.

The help of anyone familiar with the (Devil) Rays organization, has experience with the MediaWiki platform, 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.

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