The Miami Marlins apologized on Monday for making light of Steve Irwin's death in a tweet to the Tampa Bay Rays on Sunday.
"This was a regrettable exchange by our otherwise creative social media team. Unfortunately, in this medium, sometimes we swing and miss, and this was definitely a miss," the team said in a statement.
The Marlins said they have also addressed the matter internally, according to 640 The Hurricane.
The team also tweeted an apology Monday.
Hi, guys. Like everyone who grew up watching him, we miss Steve.
