The Miami Marlins issued an apology for an insensitive tweet posted after being swept by the Tampa Bay Rays over the weekend.
Following Tampa Bay's 7-2 victory on Sunday, the two sides engaged in some friendly banter on social media:
Tampa Bay Rays@Marlins here's the broom we just used on you, so you can clean them up. ud83euddf9
However, the conversation took a turn when Miami brought up the death of Steve Irwin, aka "The Crocodile Hunter":
Irwin died at the age of 44 in September 2006 after being stabbed "hundreds of times" by a stingray.
