MLB fans mock the Tampa Bay Rays after banner honoring club's mediocre 2022 season

Although they have never won a championship, the Rays have reached the World Series on two occasions (2008, 2020). They also have four American League East titles to their name.The organization has also secured a Wild Card birth on four different occasions. It is a fact that they want the whole world to know. The Rays are getting roasted online for their latest stadium banner, which celebrates a very mediocre achievement.Barstool Sports@barstoolsportsThe Tampa Bay Rays Have Dethroned The Colts For Hanging The Most Pathetic Banner In Sports History barstoolsports.com/blog/3461683/t…6090219The Tampa Bay Rays Have Dethroned The Colts For Hanging The Most Pathetic Banner In Sports History barstoolsports.com/blog/3461683/t… https://t.co/Knko9TLePbDespite finishing third in their division, the Rays were able to secure a spot in the 2022 MLB postseason.

After edging out the Chicago White Sox and Baltimore Orioles, they were swept by the Cleveland Guardians.The past few years have been a rollercoaster ride for Rays fans. Since reaching the World Series in 2020, the club has failed to win a playoff series. Several of the team's key players have returned this year and will be looking to bounce back with a deep playoff run in 2023.
