ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - Tampa Bay Rays manager Joe Maddon has never been afraid to try something new, and sometimes bizarre to help his team.  The slumping Rays have turned to a Seminole medicine man to change their fortunes.

Maddon invited tribal elder Bobby Henry to Tropicana Field on Monday in an attempt to help his team, which has the worst record in the majors.

Henry walked around the ballpark and said the Rays are ready "to go get it."

The Rays weren't able to channel the energy in to a win as they fell to the Seattle Mariners on Monday 3-0.
