Recently, I have been going down the YouTube rabbit hole in search of classic Tampa Bay Devil Rays footage.
It’s hard to come by, with only the most notable of regular season games from the past couple of decades getting uploaded. The Tampa Bay Devil Rays of course, were completely and utterly terrible during their first decade of existence, so they didn’t have very if any notable games.
However, some YouTube heros, like Stephen Harris, kept a collection of various games from the 1990’s (hopefully with the express written consent of major league baseball) and among them, was a contest between the Philadelphia Phillies and the Tampa Bay Devil Rays that took place during June of the Devil Rays inaugural season in 1998.
