Things have not gone so well for the Tampa Bay Rays this season. Expected to contend in the perennially tough AL East, the club instead has the worst record in the Majors after losing 12 of their last 13 contests.

So manager Joe Maddon, known for his offbeat measures to keep his club winning, turned to Seminole Tribal elder Bobby Henry for help. From the Tampa Tribune:

Henry, known as The Rainmaker, is a 77-year-old medicine man who has lived in the Tampa area for the last 45 years.

“I guess this guy made it rain in Tampa in the mid-80s at some point, so I guess he’s got some supernatural powers,” Maddon said. “If it rains in the Trop I’ll be really impressed. That will be his best moment ever.”

The Rays can’t really get much worse than they have been, so it’s not like Henry can hurt them. The medicine man told reporters that he didn’t think any bad spirits inside Tropicana Field were too bad, which makes sense because it’s only baseball.
