~Marlins Park~

~June 14, 2015 Rockies at Marlins~

Marlins Park is a work of art... there are parking garages right next door, connected by breezeways.  Which is a good thing with the afternoon showers in S. Florida almost a given.

Just more pictures of the park - it is quite a site	.....
From the ramp walking to my seat	Seating Chart... I'm on first base side
First view of field	The onion tour - fresh onions, relish and jalapeños
Are we at a ballpark or airport?	View from my seat
The art installation in center - or some call it 'the thing'	It's time for that beard to GO
The starting lineups announced - Martin!	It was Sunday, so kids on the field to greet the home team.  Prado snuck up on his guys... it was so cute!.
He spent quite a while engaging his 2 jr fielders - - - -	They really looked engaged in whatever he was saying - and they got an autographed ball each.
Charlie leading off - the scoreboards are COLORFUL	About 2 seconds after this picture, Charlie hit a home run.
Prado up to bat...	He got a hit, but got tangled up with the first baseman, took a tumble and had to exit the game with a shoulder sprain... :-(
The home run statue was quiet for the Marlins this day.	Mascot Billy the Marlin
The out of town scoreboard has a nice graphic for games in rain delay!	Everything is just so colorful... the info board is no exception.
Sea creature race	Ichiro came in to pinch hit... I guess he wanted a SMALL strike zone.  Just kidding - he does this 'stretch' before each at bat.
Final Score.
They have a Bobblehead Museum.  The shelves 'shake' so at any time a row or rows of dolls are 'bobbling'
One of my favorite bobbleheads!  Hunter Pence on his scooter.	Walked around the park after, and this is the back of the statue.  You can see it is several layers, and can get an idea what would happen if a Marlin got a homer..
The windows were open after the game, you can see the tracks.	Martin Prado bidding farewell.
