Survival79 Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 Q&A With Stuart SternbergBy MARC TOPKIN, Times Staff WriterPublished April 2, 2006MT: What's new with the process of changing the team name and logo?SS: We're actually looking at it. It's in the background, but we've started to do some work on it. We've got thousands of names, literally, thousands of names to choose from, and we'll have to choose a direction that we're going to head into.MT: So it won't be Devil Rays - is that fair to say?SS: Yes, that's fair to say. If the name, in fact, changes, it won't be Devil Rays.MT: So if it doesn't change, it would be Devil Rays?SS: I thought I could get that one by you. That means it's not definite it will change.

swilson160 Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 What if the name changes and it's still Devil Rays? Or what if it doesn't change and it isn't Devil Rays? Or if it changes TO Devil Rays? Is "San Diego" German for "Devil Ray"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KJTALBOT Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 My guess is that the Marlins either move or become the Miami Marlins and the other baseball team in the state becomes the Florida Rays. Everyone loves a roundel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CubsFanBudMan Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Following up on my earlier post about bikes... if in fact it's the Tampa Bay Stingrays, then both 1998 expansion teams will be named after the prominent bikes from my youth.I had a classic Schwinn Stingray, but the 'cool' kids had a BMX Diamondback... or something like that. Pardon the nostalgia.Didn't Tampa Bay want the Marlins to stop using "Florida" a while back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Can't blame them for wanting to...it's bad enough that the Yankees claim Tampa, now the Marlins are claiming the whole state. Poor Rays. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
