Hey folks. So I’ve been recreating this HQ Pro Player Stadium seating map from 2003. It’s finally done & up to buy for shirts (teal, black, white, orange), wall art, bags, etc. Hope
#Marlins
&
#MLB
fans or
#Miami
/South Florida enjoys it.

Petition to make the Mets the unified

enemy of the NL East in 2024. All NL East clubs agree to ensure they finish in last place. All Atlanta Braves, Philadelphia Phillies, Washington Nationals & Miami Marlins fans agree to bring pettiness to an all time high to Mets fans.
Summer nights at Pro Player Stadium. If you grew up in South Florida from 1993-2011, you can hear, smell, and taste this image.

Happy 305 Day. Jose Fernández had probably the greatest home field advantage ever. He went 29-2 in 42 games in Miami with a 1.49 ERA, 0.92 WHIP, 11.43 K/9, & 346 strikeouts.

Jazz Chisholm Jr. ends his time with the

Skip Schumaker wins the 2023 National League Manager of the Year award! He is the 4th

manager to win the award joining Jack McKeon (2003), Joe Girardi (2006) & Don Mattingly (2020).

Garrett Cooper ends his time with the

Who ever was the one who decided that the fishtail should form the middle part of the “F” in the
#Marlins
original road jerseys deserves a statue.
#MLB
I sincerely hope the
#Marlins
are seeing the insane amount of engagement they’re getting from baseball fans and South Florida from announcing the teal uniforms. Just like the Padres did, the Brewers, and the Blue Jays before them.

Almost every kid growing up in South Florida from 1993-2011 passed through these tunnels at least once and smelled that bright green grass.

Hearing Jim Leyland almost brought to tears discussing how much Game 7 of the 1997 World Series meant so much to everyone involved in a cosmic sense just hits deep.

People acted like Citizens Bank was a place no one has ever won before. They’ve lost a bunch of playoff series (including the World Series) there to opposing teams. You know where no opposing team has ever won a playoff series? Pro Player Stadium.
And they never will.

Luis Arraez becomes the 3rd
#Marlins
player to win the National League Batting Title joining Hanley Ramirez (2009) & Dee Gordon-Strange (2015). This is also the 1st time in franchise history that a Florida/Miami player led all
#MLB
in batting average.

I firmly believe the
#Marlins
would see an attendance uptick if getting to the ballpark wasn’t a gauntlet. A public transit system would be a huge boon. This is what people have to deal with after work/school to get to LDP. And it’s shut out most people from Broward & Palm Beach.
Thank you to everyone who followed me during this surprising 2023
#Marlins
season. Seeing the Fish finally slowly repair the relationship with South Florida was impressive. Helping y’all reminisce about teal & the Pro while Miami created new memories, was an honor. Con todo amor.
The Miami
#Marlins
finish the 2023 regular season home slate with 12 games of crowds totaling more than 20,000. Before this season the Fish had just 13 games of 20K plus since 2018 combined. Steps finally being taken in Little Havana.
The Florida Panthers have been more successful than the Miami Dolphins have been since 1993. Many of you have to accept that. Now go & not disappoint us for once Dolphins.
Alex González was able to use his legs to give the
#Marlins
the crucial go-ahead run during Josh Beckett’s masterful World Series Game 6 shut out of the Yankees.
#MLB
This is how you convert people into fans. The “Rays Way” doesn’t. The Rays Way led to that franchise having a half empty stadium for a playoff series despite years of success on the field since 2008.
Sorry Dolphins fans. It’s still a baseball stadium. This will continue to remain the last home playoff win at Pro Player Stadium. Barring some miracles in the AFC playoffs.

#MLB
Still wonder if a
#Marlins
home playoff game can compare to the energy of the Pro. I don’t consider WBC or Serie del Caribe games to be an indication of what a wholly pro-Marlins crowd would be. Only comparison would be the recent Florida Panthers runs.
The national radio call of

shortstop Alex Gonzalez’s walk-off home run in the 12th inning to end Game 4 of the 2003 World Series against the Yankees.

Jon Berti ends his time with the
#Marlins
after 5 seasons (2019-2023). He played in 432 games for the Fish collecting 350 hits. He is one of only 3 players to have appeared on 2 Marlins postseason rosters.
#MLB
Luis Arráez ends his time with the
#Marlins
after little more than 1 season. In 180 games his impact was massive as the 2023 Fish made the playoffs, he was the starting 2nd baseman for the NL All Stars, hit the 1st cycle in team history, won NL Batting title & Silver Slugger.

Another rare photo of the old
