# 2000 Tampa Bay Devil Rays season

The 2000 Tampa Bay Devil Rays season was their third since the franchise was created. They finished last in the American League East with a record of 69–92. Their manager was Larry Rothschild, who entered his third year with the club. This season is sometimes referred to by rays' fans as the "Hit Show" because the club signed several big-name sluggers in hopes of the team putting up better offensive numbers.

## Offseason

* December 13, 1999: Scott McClain was released by the Tampa Bay Devil Rays.
* March 31, 2000: Billy Taylor was signed as a free agent with the Tampa Bay Devil Rays.

## Regular season

On September 28, 2000, the Yankees played the Devil Rays at Tampa Bay. In the top of the 2nd inning, Jose Canseco was walked. Tino Martinez then hit a double to center field. The ball was fielded by Gerald Williams and relayed to Mike DiFelice. He tagged Jose Canseco at the plate and proceeded to tag out Tino Martinez who was running right behind Canseco. Mike DiFelice tagged both runners out at the plate.
