Tampa Bay Rays IQ now available on Kindle

Think you know Rays baseball? Think again … you’re about to find out how smart you really are about the Tampa Bay Rays. You know that in 1998 the Tampa Bay Devil Rays were an expansion franchise playing its first official, painful season. You know that in 2008, minus the Devil, the Rays were the best team in the American League.

But if you think you know everything that transpired as Tampa went from “worst to first” and made itself into one of the elite franchises in professional sports … well, it’s time to prove it.

Co-authored by Rays’ pitcher Andy Sonnanstine, Tampa Bay Rays IQ contains ten chapters of Rays’ history and offers up 200 brand-new trivia questions that will, in fact, reveal the true level of your fandom.

Now available on Amazon Kindle.

Tampa Bay Rays IQ: The Ultimate Test of True Fandom (Kindle Edition)

Zorilla and Sonnanstine

Ben Zobrist put on quite a show during a twin bill Twin-killing earlier this week. Zorilla had four hits and eight RBIs in the Rays 15-3 victory in the first game … and then tacked on three more hits and two more RBIs in the second game. To get some perspective, Zorilla became only the third second baseman in 60 years to post such gaudy numbers in a single day. 

That kind of accomplishment seems worthy of a history / trivia book on the Rays.
Too bad for Zobrist he didn’t plan better, else he could have coordinated with his teammate and new author Andy Sonnanstine, who in addition to delivering strikes with pinpoint accuracy has just delivered one of the finest books to date in Black Mesa Publishing’s IQ history / trivia series.
Sonnanstine broke the book down into ten chapters that tell the entire story of the Rays franchise, and the book also contains more than 200 brand new trivia questions. Surely room could have been made for one more based on Zorilla’s latest exploits … but alas, the book was already at the printer …
Maybe he’ll save it for Volume II?
I’d say there’s a good chance he will. In the meantime, this book, it’s the real deal. 
All your favorite players are in the book. Lots of quotes, lots of inside information, lots of amazing stories and history — and best of all, some astounding trivia questions.
