The Tampa Bay Rays will go into the 2020 World Series hoping it fares much better than the only other championship appearance in franchise history.
In 2008, the Rays won a single contest against the Philadelphia Phillies in a matchup that featured a game that was finished in a three-day span due to inclement weather.
This iteration of an American League champion out of Tampa will not have to worry about weather since Globe Life Field has a retractable roof.
Another concern will be dealing with the lineup of the National League Championship Series winner.
