In case they take down the post: Team Prez Matt Silverman is charging Dev...Rays officials and players $1 every time they use the old moniker. Hey, about six more in this post, and they'll be able to afford a starting pitcher! So, why all the hate for history?
A little late to the show, but courtesy of the St. Petersburg Times:
Some have questioned naming the team for a marine animal not widely known in these waters. Others disliked the devil reference and predicted God would doom the team because of it. ..."There are some that don't have a positive reaction to the word devil," Silverman said.
Because cosmic forces are to blame for your inability to score. This type of forethought and reasoning will clearly serve your squad well in its future efforts to reimagine itself.
Good job, guys! Stay tuned for the commemorative game-worn underwear promotion.
Oh, and way to invoke a team comprised entirely of middle-aged gas station attendants named Ray. And hey, look at that logo. Looks like it should be on a bottle of motor oil or hemorrhoid cream.
Other naming options that were considered and tragically scrapped:
- The Yankee Farm System
- Certified Steroid-Free
- Scott Kazmir's Team
- The Rockettes
- The Tampa Rele-Gators
- Hannah Montana Concert Spectacular, Tickets Free
Actual Devil Rays the world over would like you to know that you can keep your fancy new name. They didn't want to say anything, but you've been embarrassing their species for years.
