I received this email today about a concerned parent of a 5-year old just starting to play baseball in this area of town.
{NAME WITHHELD], Please bear with this request and try to understand where I am coming from. Know that I am not a person to raise questions or want to
create more work for you. I am concerned about our team name being "Devil
rays". The little that my son does know of the devil is the devil is bad.
I think that calling there team devil signals they are bad and may also
raise questions among 5 year olds about the devil. I don't think a baseball
team is the time or place to raise these questions or concerns with five
year olds. Will you please try to give us a new team name? If you have the
schedules already made, then give us a new name for the kids and we will
know on the schedule we are the Devil Rays. I just don't want the kids
cheering go "Devil Rays"! It is not age appropriate. Thanks in advance for
your help with this concern.
Hello? I think her bible belt is cinched a little too tight. This is a Devil Ray

As are these
