Marlins open new ballpark against champion Cards
Perched atop the Miami Marlins’ multicolored, provocative home-run sculpture is a blue marlin, poised for splashdown whenever the home team hits one out.
Call the artwork what you will—gaudy, goofy, grotesque, great—but there’s no denying it’s new. For the Marlins, that’s what this season is all about.
Long overlooked and underfunded, they’ve become a big-spending, attention-grabbing team as they open the season at home Wednesday night against the World Series champion St. Louis Cardinals.
