Tampa Bay/St. Petersburg area made many tries to get a baseball team before
receiving the Devil Rays in the 1998 expansion. the main obstacles were city
infighting and the lack of a stadium. Soon, teams started to look in to moving to the area, the first
being the Chicago White Sox, who but for a last minute action by the Illinois
Legislature were heading to St. Petersburg. the Seattle Mariners also looked at
the area. |
