Rays invite fish to throw out first pitch for Earth Day

The Tampa Bay Rays' Mascot, Raymond has a "new best friend" visiting for Earth Day - Meloy, Jr. He is a fish, he represents the organization Rare, and he will be throwing out the first pitch tonight.

Meloy Jr. was kind enough to sit down (can fish sit?) for an interview before tonight's festivities begin!

Thanks for joining us Meloy! So tell us, what does Rare do for the environment?
