One more time: Devil ray is a real fish

Thanks to a precious attempt at clever writing at MLB.com, I thought I'd take advantage of the pause prior to the start of the World Series by reminding everyone that the "devil ray" for which the Tampa Bay Devil Rays were named is a real fish, not some attempt to meld the depths of Hades with the depths of the ocean.

Atlantic devil ray

This is supposed to pass for cleverness:

Devil all fired up about Rays winning

Hades resident bitter that Tampa Bay made it to World Series

The anonymous thing was probably a good idea.
