Devil Rays In Bay Area As Early As 1941
Devil Raysian, It was the devil all along May 10th. 2010, 1:00pmBelow is a St. Pete Times article from August 26, 1941. Kinda cool (click on image for a larger version)…
Two things we love about this article other than the obvious: 1) apparently anybody could just call the newspaper and tell them anything and it would get published; 2) the witness swore “on a stack of telephone directories.” Really? He swore on a stack of phone books? What does that even mean?

Legend has it that the ray disappeared when he found out that Mr. Newsham was a left handed pitcher. The rest is history.
My grandpa played for Montgomery Wards and I remember the stories of that legendary series with Pasadena. He blamed the manager for the lack of offensive production on platooning RF and 2B.
Well played
well, sir, that’s a stupid good story.
