You know, back when the Rays were known as the Devil Rays, and owned by this schmuck.

Jackie Hammond had the correct answer. That player was Paul Wilder. Congrats Jackie! Email your snail mail address to: abandonar.a.su.suerte@gmail.com and we’ll get them off to you ASAP!

On this day in 1996, the (then Devil) Rays drafted the first player in franchise history. We’re going to play a game of quid pro quo. Can any of you tell us the name of that player? The first person to get the answer correct will get a handful of our Raysbaseball.co “Yankees Suck” and “Red Sox Suck” stickers. This contest ends at midnight, so don’t be tardy. Good luck!
