Baseball's Tampa Bay Rays used to be known as the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. Getting rid of the word 'devil' reminds me of the flap about renaming Mt. Diablo, our local mountain. Looking online just now, it seems that the team owner prefers to think of the Rays more as rays of sunshine rather than the sea creatures manta rays or devil rays.
I like to imagine the team being comprised entirely of guys named Ray.
