It was certainly a season to be proud of for the Tampa Bay Rays, and just like for the last 23 seasons, we experienced all the highs and lows on the field with one voice.

Spectrum Bay News 9's Ashley Paul sat down with the man behind the voice - Dewayne Staats - as he reflects on the wins and losses he's seen and a career defined by America's past time.

Staats joined the team before its 1998 debut season and has been the voice of the Rays since.
