It’s a brotherhood.
We’ll be back next year
New ownership and made World Series first year
Amazing core with a bright future and promising prospects soon to come.
I am BEYOND proud of this team and you should be too
#RaysUp
We didn’t wake up with confetti in our hair or champagne-soaked clothes, but we still woke up winners.
Two years ago, the Trop and Tampa Bay were ravaged by two hurricanes and playing another game at the only stadium we’ve ever called home was never guaranteed. They returned to their friendly confines and logged 55 wins under the titled roof, good enough for the most wins at home in baseball.
The new ownership group is engaged with the fanbase and community and getting an unfathomable amount of work accomplished in such a short period of time, including securing the new forever home for our team. That alone made this season an unequivocal success.
The players, coaching staff and front office topped all of this off by returning to the playoffs, winning the rugged AL East, clinching their third pennant in franchise history and ending with the most wins in a single season in franchise history.
Finishing second isn’t a consolation prize and doesn’t remove any of the sting of being close to a world championship for a third time.
But the momentum of the last 12 months is very real.
Don’t stop wearing your gear. (Yes, I’m wearing a Rays shirt today.) Keep that flag up on your house. Continue harnessing the passion without boundaries that we can feel growing.
The memories made this season will be with us forever.
Each game with my family. Every walk through the rotunda doors feeling like the very first time and all of the magic that goes along with it. Keeping up with each pitch, even when attending a concert or a day at Disney.
The high-fives. The clutch hits. The beautiful sound of the horn. The iconic glow of the roof. The hugs. The divine mini donuts. The fellow Season Members and Rays staff that feel like extended family.
I’ve thoroughly enjoyed all of the connections made as a result of our shared love for our team, both online and in-person. The community aspect of being a sports fan is one of my favorite parts.
The likely lockout is out of our control and, with a little luck and common sense, we’ll get baseball at some point next season. And we’ll start the journey all over again—together.
Every tune-in. Every trip to the Trop. Every pitch. Every strike. Every out. Every hit. Every home run horn. Every high five tunnel. Every sting machine run. Every mascot race. Every 7th inning stretch. Every shake of the cowbell. Every rally towel wave. Every crowd pop. Every roof lighting. Every “VICTORYYY.” Every “we’ll get ’em next time.”
Through everything and for everything - thank you, Tampa Bay.

The Marathon continues…
You love a team win or lose. The seasons are short, but the passion is endless.
2026 did not end the way we wanted it to, but it was a hell of a ride—one not many saw coming.
From the triumphant return to the Trop and a summer full of fun baseball to a playoff run that culminated in another AL East title and pennant.
Our time will come and it’s going to be worth the wait. And I can’t wait to celebrate with each and every one of you.
Today and everyday, it’s always #RaysUp and #ForTampaBay
An American League East title.
An American League pennant.
An unexpected trip to the #WorldSeries

An unprecedented 2026 season to be proud of, even amid a frustrating finish.
Congrats, @Brewers. Y’all earned this.
Thank you, Tampa Bay 🙏🏻
