Tampa Bay Rays have a new ‘DJ Kitty’ mascot (Picture)

Step aside, Raymond. The character you see above is the new cat in town at Tropicana Field — no pun intended. According to Rays Index, D.J. Kitty will be Raymond’s new partner during home games. As far as we know the guy in the yellow spandex suit is not making a comeback for the 2012 season.

What is going on here? The cow bell around the neck? The backwards hat? And why a cat? Is this type of look cool in today’s day and age? I’m starting to think the world is passing me by while I sit in front of my computer and write about sports.
