X-RAY REPORT Ê Joe hosted Thanksmas for the seventh con-

secutive year this past Dec 10-12 at Salvation Army Shelters in St. Petersburg, Tampa and Clearwater…as he does for every Thanksmas, Maddon prepared a traditional Italian/Polish holiday feast for hundreds of needy citizens in the Tampa Bay region…Maddon purchases the food and with the help of Rays coaches and employees, cooks and serves the meals… over the seven years, Maddon’s Thankmas has served approximately 6,000 individuals in need and provided many with clothing, shoes and in 2012, blankets…his fundraising efforts have also resulted in thousands of dollars in donations to the shelters…for more info visit joesthanksmas.com.

Ê Joe enters the 2013 season with nearly

100,000 followers on his active Twitter ac-

count…last December Baseball America named @RaysJoeMaddon one of the 50 best baseballrelated Twitter accounts. Ê With Maddon taking the lead, 71 Rays play-

ers, coaches, and front office staff including Principal Owner Stuart Sternberg shaved their heads on March 15, 2012 as part of a fundraising campaign to benefit the Pediatric Cancer Foundation. Ê Maddon instituted “American Legion Week,”

Aug 20-25, 2012, when the Rays returned home from a grueling 10-game, 10-day road trip, their second to the West Coast in a span of 2-1/2 weeks…from Joe: “We called it American Legion Week to keep things loose. Most of us have played Legion ball at some point, when we showed up 10 minutes before game time. We didn’t need BP back then, just stretch and go. I wanted to give the guys a rest and get them off their feet.”…the Rays hung the banner from Safety Harbor Post 238 in the clubhouse all week and Maddon and the Rays treated the members of the post to a night of free beer, pickled eggs and bar sausages.

2012 SEASON Ê In his seventh season, the two-time AL

Manager of the Year led the Rays to their fifth consecutive winning season, the only five such seasons in club history…is one of only two managers to post winning seasons in each of the last five seasons joining NYY Joe Girardi… Maddon also led the Rays to their third consecutive 90-win season joining the Yankees and Rangers as the only teams to make that claim.

TROPICANA FIELD & MISC.

Since the first All-Star Game in 1933, selection of the All-Stars has shifted on several occasions between fans, players and managers. In 1933 and 1934, selection of the All-Star teams was up to the fans, who could vote for All-Stars through newspaper ads featuring official ballots. From 1935 to 1946, each league’s eight managers selected the participants while the All-Star Team managers chose the starters. Balloting for the starting lineups, tabulated by the Associated Press, was returned to the fans from 1947 to 1957. However, a case of ballot-stuffing by Cincinnati fans in 1957 prompted Commissioner Ford Frick to make player selection the privilege of managers, players and coaches from 1958 to 1969. Commissioner Bowie Kuhn returned voting to the fans in 1970. Since then, All-Star fan balloting has developed into the largest voter participation program in the U.S. outside of state and national elections. Under the current format revised in 2003, major league players began electing a reserve for each position as well as five starting pitchers and three relievers. The All-Star managers select the starting pitcher from among those pitchers already elected by the players. The managers also select the remainder of the roster spots except for the final spot while ensuring that each team has at least one representative. The All-Star Game manager, guided by the Commissioner’s Office, then selects a list of five nominees for the fans to choose from for the final roster spot for each league’s team. The Final Man Vote began in 2002.

OPENING DAY AGE 51 BORN 10/12/61 in Chicago, IL RESIDES St. Cloud, FL TENURE This is his 31st season in professional

baseball, his 10th as major league pitching coach, 7th with the Rays. POSITION PLAYED Pitcher

COACHING CAREER Ê Begins his seventh season with the Rays, the

longest-tenured pitching coach in club history… named to the post on Nov 18, 2006…the Rays had 6 pitching coaches in their first 9 years: Rick Williams (1998-2000), Bill Fischer (200001), Jackie Brown (2002), Chris Bosio (2003), Chuck Hernandez (2004-05) and Mike Butcher (2006). Ê Only three current AL pitching coaches have

been at their post as long: MIN Rick Anderson (2002), CWS Don Cooper (2002) and LAA Mike Butcher (2007). Ê Began his career as a major league pitching

coach with Houston in July 2004 and in his 8-1/2 seasons since, he has been to the postseason five times…is one of just seven pitching coaches in the last five decades to go to the World Series with two different franchises (Astros in 2005 and Rays in 2008)…joins Dave Duncan, Mel Stottlemyre, Larry Rothschild, Johnny Sain, Stan Williams and Dave Wallace. Ê As a major league pitching coach, his teams

have posted a 3.94 ERA and he has coached three league ERA champions: Roger Clemens (NL, 2005), Roy Oswalt (NL, 2006) and David Price (AL, 2012). Ê The Rays have set virtually every team pitch-

ing record under Hickey…over his 6 seasons as pitching coach (2007-12), the Rays lead the AL in strikeouts (7,177) and feature the lowest opponents’ batting average (.250)…Rays pitchers have posted an AL-best 3.74 ERA over the past 5 seasons, lowest by an AL team over a 5-year period since 1988-92 when the A’s (3.61) and Blue Jays (3.73) were better.

Ê In his six seasons, 96.5 percent (938 of 972)

of the Rays games have been started by pitchers under the age of 30 and 61.3 percent (596 of 972) have been started by pitchers 25 years of age or younger, most in the majors over that span (Oakland is 2nd with 585). Ê The Rays team ERA has decreased each of

the last 4 seasons: 2009 (4.33), 2010 (3.78), 2011 (3.58) and 2012 (3.19)…only 2 other major league teams can make that claim over the last 4 years: the Nationals and Braves. Ê In 2012, the Rays led the majors in ERA (3.19),

opponents’ batting average (.228) and set an AL record with 1,383 strikeouts…the Rays and the 1999 Red Sox are the only teams to lead the AL in all 3 categories in the last 30 years… their ERA was the lowest by an AL staff since 1990…the Rays were just the 6th AL team in the DH era (since 1973) to lead the majors in ERA…their 2.60 mark after the All-Star break was the 8th lowest in AL history. Ê Opponents batted .228 in 2012 and .234 in

2011, the two lowest marks by an AL staff in the DH era…the Rays have had the lowest opponents’ batting average in the AL in each of the last 3 seasons, the first team to do that since the 1983-85 Detroit Tigers…the Rays 1.17 WHIP (walks+hits per IP) was also the lowest by an AL team in the DH era. Ê The Rays were the only AL team in 2012 to

boast five 10-game winners and became the first team to have five 10-game winners in three consecutive seasons since the 198688 Mets. Ê In 2008, Rays pitchers improved from last in

the majors in ERA (5.53) to 3rd (3.82).

ESPN NAMES RAYS MOST AFFORDABLE AMONG MLB, NFL, NHL, NBA…AGAIN ESPN the Magazine’s tenth annual “Ultimate Standings” ranked the Rays as the No. 1 professional sports team in Affordability in 2012, out of 122 MLB, NBA, NFL and NHL franchises. It is the sixth consecutive year the Rays have been ranked in ESPN’s top three in Affordability. The Rays were also ranked No. 1 in 2009. Affordability was one of eight categories analyzed in the Ultimate Standings, which were compiled based on fan feedback. Other categories included Bang for the Buck, Fan Relations, Ownership, Stadium Experience, Players, Coaching and Title Track (championships already won or expected in the lifetime of current fans). The Rays ranked No. 8 among the 122 teams in Bang for the Buck, the third consecutive season they have finished in the magazine’s top 10, and No. 5 (No. 1 in baseball) in strength of on-field leadership behind the San Antonio Spurs, New England Patriots, San Francisco 49ers and Boston Celtics. Overall, the Rays finished No. 3 among the 30 MLB teams and No. 16 in all of professional sports, the third time in the last four years the Rays have cracked the top 20. Teams were measured on how much they “give back to the fans in exchange for all the time, money and emotion the fans invest in them.”

STORMY WEATHER The Rays have had games affected by two hurricanes. In 2004, the Rays had two games postponed vs. Detroit (Sep 4-5) at Tropicana Field due to Hurricane Frances. The two teams played Sep 3, but the Tigers left St. Petersburg that night after the game to avoid the storm. They returned on Sep 30 to play a doubleheader. Detroit won the first game, 8-0, and the Rays won the nightcap, 6-4. It is the only doubleheader played at Tropicana Field and was the 64th twinbill played in an indoor stadium. The Rays were supposed to fly out after the game on Sep 5 to play a Labor Day doubleheader at New York the next day, but were unable to leave because of Frances. The Rays weren’t able to fly out of Tampa International Airport until 3 p.m. the following day, Sep 6. The Rays arrived in New York at 5:25 p.m. and played a single game that night, a 7-4 loss which began at 7 p.m. The postponed game was eventually made up in New York on Sep 23. On Sep 17, 2000, the Rays and the A’s postponed their game at Tropicana Field when Hurricane Gordon was bearing down. Instead of playing that Sunday afternoon, the A’s flew to Baltimore. The game was never made up, one of three such games in club history.

UNPRECEDENTED STEPS AGAINST PEDs On Jan 11, 2013, MLB and the MLBPA took groundbreaking anti-doping steps in the North American professional sports landscape by agreeing to in-season, random and unannounced blood testing for the detection of Human Growth Hormone. It was the latest progression in MLB’s policy against HGH, which is the strictest in professional sports. The parties also announced the start of a longitudinal profile program, allowing data like Testosterone/Epitestosterone (T/E) ratios to be maintained for the detection of performance-enhancing drugs. In addition, MLB’s Department of Investigations has become a critical, proactive resource toward uncovering the illicit activities of some of those associated with the game.
