[edit] Citrus Derby
What's the Citrus Derby? --User:Kushboy 17:04 EST July 8, 2005
It's apparently a fig newton of anonymous user 24.171.36.233's semi-fertile imagination, along with all this bogus "main rivals" junk that he's been putting on every baseball team page. Wahkeenah 8 July 2005 22:45 (UTC)
- At least, there's some action being taken against these fake rivalries. [1] Win777 18:17, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
- The fake "rivalries" keep on coming. Win777 17:00, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
- They posted a "Disco Demolition Rivalry" between the White Sox and Tigers. They are really getting desparate. Wahkeenah 17:27, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Correction
I noticed a spelling error when I was browsing the page. I changed it, just wanted to make a record of it. Doughboy 16:47, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
- You don't need to post that here. Just leaving that in your edit summary will do. OsFan 02:25, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] "Devil"?
Why is "Devil" in quotation in relation to the team's name. The team's name is the Devil Rays, not the Rays, despite the poll of season tix. holders. I'm going to take the quotes off, unless someone can explain them. Wxthewx99 22:32, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Single Season Records
The line that states the requirements to qualify for single season records:
Average records require qualification for end-of-year awards according to MLB standards. For batting average, a player must have a minimum 450 plate appearances. For ERA, a pitcher must be have played in at least 30 games and started at least 25 of those games.
This contradicts what I have understood the standard to qualify is. To my understanding, to qualify for the batting title, a player needed 501 plate appearances during the season, and pitchers, to qualify for the ERA title needed at least one inning pitched for each team game, whether he be a starter or not (so usually 162 innings per season to qualify for the title).

[edit] POV
I have started some copyediting of this article, but it's in major need of revamping. I'm going to start such an action, this article needs a colaborate effort to repair. Yanksox 04:56, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Before the Devil Rays
The Before the Devil Rays section is not even remotely NPOV in either tone or content. It needs a thorough rewrite from someone who knows more than I do about the history of bringing baseball to Tampa Bay. CoramVobis 02:14, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
- It isn't? It seems perfectly fine to me, though sorely lacking in refs. —BorgHunter (talk) 14:20, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Delete: Prominent Major Leaguers from Tampa Bay
This list has nothing to do with the team. Yes, some of the people on the list have been on the team, but this list is of MLBers who are from the city, not the team. It should be deleted. Doc502 18:18, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
