It's not the first time they're talking about this, but the Detroit Tigers' Miguel Cabrera's prodigious home run that splashed into the "touch tank" at Tropicana Field two weeks ago has inspired PETA to ask the Rays to close down the 35-foot, 10,000 gallon tank.
"The rays held captive at Tropicana Field not only were traumatically taken from their vast home waters but also are subject to harassment, loud crowds, and even baseballs capable of seriously injuring them," says PETA Foundation Director of Captive Animal Law Enforcement Delcianna Winders in a press release. "When it comes to compassion, the Rays are batting .000."
