Rays are very social creatures, the had to relocate them for the 2020 season (because of COVID-19) because the stingrays would get sad and depressed with the lack of people from this year , no joke
Yeah I know. I'm surprised as well. All you need is a power-hitting lefty. Maybe since you have to hit it very high to clear the glass, it might hit the roof. That may be an explanation as to why it doesn't happen very often.
I hope that never happens. I don't think it would be too harmful because 1.) The ball will slow down and have less impact once it hits the water and 2.) The baseballs float.
UPDATE: Kole Calhoun hit a home run into the Rays Tank yesterday. He is now the seventh player to do so. You can watch that clip here: www.mlb.com/video/calhouns-solo-shot-in-the-1st/c-2335928883
Uh, there was no elimination, in fact they went on to win the World Series in 2013. This was the only game the Rays won in the ALDS, so nice try. Also we beat your ass tonight too.
The fact that there is a literal tank of rays in a ballpark makes my day
I have yet to visit Tropicana Field but I'd say that's by far one of the coolest and most unique features.
@@james.calderone theres pools in alot of stadiums and at a feild it has a ocean/something like that where people on boats wait for a ball to come
Tampa is my hometown and it's always cool to go to the tank, but our FIELD isn't that good
That’s why it’s literally my top 3rd field behind the Red Sox obviously since it’s the oldest field in baseball and then of course Yankees old stadium
Lmao I love baseball highlights, I just watched 3 minutes of home runs hit into a fish tank.
It's low key kind of satisfying.
I love that the fans cheer for a HR into the tank even when it’s for the away team
Lol PETA tried to get the tank removed. The rays look totally chillin out there. Wtf.
Yeah. Screw PETA.
Those Rays are cared for by literal world class staff in the off-season.
I mean I'm sure they are supposed to live in a 20 ft diameter pool lmao. Peta is crazy but stuff like this is unnecessary
The rays be vibin

RIP Rays in Tank.
This is awesome. The Rays are my favorite team.
Thank you. They were a fun team to watch last year. They should've gotten in ahead of Cleveland. That division winning rule sucks.
same
Saw the one from Kalhoun the other day, I'm surprised this doesnt happen more often its not that far away
Yeah I know. I'm surprised as well. All you need is a power-hitting lefty. Maybe since you have to hit it very high to clear the glass, it might hit the roof. That may be an explanation as to why it doesn't happen very often.
That fan was gonna climb in to get the home run at 2:32
cant say I blame the thought
that's a walk off homer in the postseason
getting stung might be worth a few thousand dollars
what if it hits a ray
I hope that never happens. I don't think it would be too harmful because 1.) The ball will slow down and have less impact once it hits the water and 2.) The baseballs float.
a ray may be swimming close to the surface though
Know you made the comment 2 months ago but they put a net over the tank now so no rays get hit
Still splashes in there at surface level if it misses the net. And there is one hole that it funnels into for the splash.
The "Ray" gets to go to first base. :-)

James Calderone Kole Calhoun*
Done. Thank you for helping me with that.
James Calderone no prob, I’m an angels fan.
1:34: That's Not A Pool!
That is quite literally a pool
Epic is the Red Sox fans face after that walk off and elimination xD 2:26
Uh, there was no elimination, in fact they went on to win the World Series in 2013. This was the only game the Rays won in the ALDS, so nice try. Also we beat your ass tonight too.
That wasn't elimination. Boston was up 2 games to none and eventually went on to win the World Series over St.Louis.
Respond if you've touched/fed a stingray. I have
I have as well! Their skin is interesting feeling!
Shoutout all those rays
It can't hit the rays because it is to deep and the baseball doesn't have any sharp edges
Looks like the Rays are barely using the tank in comparison to their opponents!
2:23 that would’ve been a highlight
2:20 :(
Are you a Red Sox fan?
James Calderone
Yez
That shouldn't bother you though. The Red Sox won it all that year haha.
James Calderone
Ik
Can you imagine the backlash if one of those balls hit one of those Stingrays ? PETA would be pissed.
They put up a net now, cant risk it these days lol
This needs an update :)
Luke Shields yes. Kalhoun went deep yesterday. Oh well. When five more happen, I'll make a part two!
Ray's are my team
theres more away team hr then home teams
FakE ThUmNAil
What?
James Calderone The thumbnail is fake they never showed that
