ST. PETERSBURG — Some Rays, and their spouses, have been known for more than baseball. Some celebrities have shown up to watch the Rays play. Here are 20 of those connections:
• The Rays were featured prominently in the 2002 Disney movie The Rookie, which chronicled the unlikely journey of Jim Morris from high school coach and teacher to big-league pitcher, debuting at age 35 in 1999.
• There was no maybe about it as pop singer Carly Rae Jepsen in July 2013 threw arguably one of the worst first pitches in Tropicana Field — and maybe baseball — history.
