From the Rowdies to the Rays, experience 70 years of competitive play during 'Sports in Tampa Bay.' 'Sports in Tampa Bay' recounts teams and players from Tampa's past, highlighting Spring Training stars, Super Bowl champions and college stand-outs. Tampa Bay's modern sports franchises are also celebrated, with memorabilia from the Tampa Bay Rays, Lightning and Buccaneers, as well as personal items from some of Tampa's home-grown sports heroes. In 2010, the Sparkman family donated more than 200 original drawings by the late cartoonist to the Tampa Bay History Center. Those drawings, along with objects from Tampa's professional, collegiate and amateur teams, tell the story of 'Sports in Tampa Bay: Through the Eyes of Lamar Sparkman.'
