Well I am not from there...but Cownose Ray is related to the idea of the Devil Rays. But some will have a cow bell just cuz it makes a ton of noise."The Rays doubled the number of giveaways this year from last year, and tripled the average number of items given away on most games. Tonight they provided one of the loudest giveaway items, the cowbell. Made famous by the “cow town” Sacramento Kings, the Tampa Bay Devil Rays have found their own connection with the “cownose rays” (wiki type of fish)….actually the team admitted the cowbell connection was a “happy accident”.
Classic Cowbell clips and Homespun” I need more cowbell” video was used to emphasize and lead the fans. Homer Simpson and Friends clips shown. Apparently Saturday Night Live contacted the team earlier in the year instructing them not to use the famous copyrighted SNL skit starting Will Ferrell and Christopher Walken. The team had enough material to keep the night interesting, but the piece seemed odd in its exclusion.
The Rays really went all out on this. Giving clear instructions on when to use the bells, and instructing fans “Not to use the cowbell for no reason.” Video board instructions were played through out the game and the pre-game included a video piece with a team broadcaster giving two fans clear instructions on when to use the bells and when not to. Well done, since cowbells have the potential to be more obnoxious than any other giveaway."
Its a noise maker, the louder the better. A bunch of teachers from our school go to games (not Tampa Bay) and blow their whistles together, for the noise, the NOISE!! The Indians have tom toms, the Angels have Rally Monkeys, most stadiums and teams have something, some gimmick, to get the fans going.
Who do you think will win the AL central?
I guess they're trying to add suspense to the game and get people tense. If you ask me, I just find it irritating. Just cheer your team on, why do you have to use the dumb cowbells?!Is a baseball worth anything if it is signed to you personally?
...Gotta want tha bell!Those are people from Pasco that can't afford those air horns. By the way, I live in Pasco.
Who's your pick: tom glavine, greg maddux or randy johnson?
