"The (2008) Tampa Bay Rays had become the latest beacon for the game's downtrodden. Like a high-pitched whistle audible only to junkyard dogs, their message was clearly heard by baseball mongrels. They spoke to the Reds, to the Pirates, to the Royals -- to all the teams that have been down for so long, hope had become just another four-letter word." - Sportswriter Tom Singer on MLB.com (09/27/08, 'Worst to first: Rays in pursuit of history') |
