Team Rays & Cut For A Cure

Joe Maddon and 20+ Tampa Bay Rays Players will shave their heads on March 15th in support of The Pediatric Cancer Foundation and the Vinny Lecavalier Foundation. Joe has his critics of his hair coloring and styling decisions, but this is one move that we can all agree is a good one.

Updated: 3/22/13

Did you know the Rays offer many different Season Ticket Plans to accommodate almost any budget or lifestyle?

Of these packages, we find none is more cost effective or a bigger bang for the buck than the Rays Saturday season package.

A few of the many benefits of this package include:

• Rays Burst Pass that gives you a 12% bonus of any cash that you want to load towards merchandise or concessions.
• Save time with special Season Ticket Entrances.
• The Rays send some SWAG throughout the season. In 2012, they sent Season Ticket Holders a lithograph of Evan Longoria's Game 162 Walk Off Home Run.
• Access to all of the Saturday Summer Concerts, which is a great night out on the town for a great price.
• A Season Ticket account rep that will service your account.
• Opportunity to purchase Postseason ticket packages before the public.

Joe Maddon Ejections

Some games, nothing goes our way. When justice has not been served, Joe Maddon has always been there to back up his players and sometimes provide the spark that his team needs. Although this normally ends in a Joe Maddon ejection, it also turns out to be a comical moment for Rays fans to take some solace in. Here are a few of our favorite Joe Maddon ejections from over the years.
