Rays radio announcer Dave Wills died early Sunday morning, the team announced in a statement. He was 58 years old.
“Dave was an outstanding broadcaster, a great friend, and an even better person,” Rays owner Stu Sternberg said, via Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times. “He had a remarkable talent for bringing the game to life for our fans and was a vital part of the Rays family. We will miss him dearly, and our thoughts and prayers are with his family and loved ones during this difficult time.”
Wills was hospitalized in Toronto late in 2022 with what he said was supraventricular tachycardis, a heart condition that caused him to miss the final two weeks of the regular season, according to Topkin.
