Raymond Just Might Be Smartest Mascot Ever

What I know about mascots is this: They don't talk. They are sometimes fooled by simple tricks. They are slow witted and aloof. There is one mascot, though, who rises above the crop displaying superior intelligence. His name is Raymond, mascot of the Tampa Bay Devil Rays.

Even with four fat fingers, he pens his own blog. That takes some serious keyboarding skill right there. He seems to be a master of promotion, at least according to a simple YouTube search. Is any other mascot strutting themselves out on the Web as much? Doubtful.

And, above all, as the video accompanying this post points out, he can win the heart of a woman at a Tropicana Field filled with several thousand, several hundred, about 76 fans in attendance.

If you peep this dude out at a bar, make sure to keep your lady on your hip. Raymond is on the prowl.
