The History of the Orlando Rays.

For tonight's special game against the San Francisco Giants -- in which the Rays will donate all of the proceeds to the Pulse Victims Fund -- the Rays will bring out the caps worn by their former Double-A team, the Orlando Rays.

The Rays were affiliated with Orlando from 1997 to 2003, when the team moved its Double-A affiliation to Montgomery, ending 30 years of Double-A ball in The City Beautiful. Orlando had been a minor league home for the Minnesota Twins from 1973 to 1992, whose team was dubbed the team the Orlando Twins.
