Tampa Bay Rays Abstract Bauhaus-Inspired Squares Poster
Sports art doesn’t need to be in-your-face. It can be elegant, stylish, even thought-provoking. These large-scale modern-style prints can certainly fit in a garage or man cave, but they’re most at home in a dining or living room adorned by thoughtful interior design. With a focus on color and simplicity of design, these Bauhaus-era inspired posters will bring a beautiful flourish to your interior space, and show off your design-forward aesthetics.
The Tampa Bay Rays began play in 1998 as a franchise addition to the league, and set off on one of the worst stretches of baseball that we’ve ever seen. From 1998-2007, a full decade, the Rays were an abomination of a team, reaching 70 wins only once and doing so in front of very few fans in an old decrepit stadium. The forward-thinking front office was stockpiling top-shelf talent, however. In 2002 Carl Crawford arrived, in 2004 it was Jorge Cantu, in 2006 it was James Shields, and in 2008 it was Evan Longoria. in 2008, in one of the most dramatic turnarounds the modern game has seen, the Rays improved by 31 games, going from 66 wins to 97 and going all the way to the World Series. The team would ultimately lose that series, but it was clear that the Baby Rays were now here and a force to be reckoned with. Over the course of the next five years the team would make three more postseasons along with Ben Zobrist, David Price, and eventually Matt Moore, Alex Cobb & Chris Archer. The Rays, in fact, seemed to become the new Moneyball, capable of developing and building a farm system that produced players every single year in an effort to keep costs down for their small-market situation. The Rays also became one of the most consistent organizations in all of baseball. Since that 2008 turnaround, they’ve only experienced four out of sixteen losing seasons. In 2018 the new crop of greats arrived for Tampa Bay: Austin Meadows, Kevin Kiermair, Willy Adames, Yandy Diaz, and Randy Arozarena would help lead the Rays to five straight playoff berths from 2019-2023, losing in the World Series in 2020. The Rays have the secret sauce for talent evaluation and development, and it seems like it’s only a matter of time before the team breaks through. In the meantime, the Rays faithful will just be glad they have a winner every single year to look forward to.
