On Deck

In the spirng of 2008 Pat Donovan and Mike Tyree decided to use their love of the Rays and fill a giant gap in Tampa Bay radio. Despite the team's lack of success before '08, both Donovan and Tyree found it insane that there wasn't one radio show in the bay area dedicated to focusing on Rays baseball.

On opening day in 2008 On Deck debuted on ESPN 1470. A year later the duo took On Deck to 1010 CBS Sports radio.

This time around Pat and Mike have decided to relaunch On Deck with it's own website which includes the On Deck podcast and Pat and Mike's articles from Creative Loafing where the two are now contributors.
