April 5, 200521 yr It's all about South Florida, I think Marino is a great pick to throw out the first pick.
April 5, 200521 yr If you can't get excited about big Dan throwing out the first pitch there's something wrong with you.
April 5, 200521 yr The only problem with Marino throwing the first pitch, instead of shaq, is that it might get intercepted 729006[/snapback] You mean Pennington right?
April 6, 200521 yr They had some Papa Johns executive come out and throw out the pitch and everyone was like "what the hell, where is Dan?" then they showed this badass Dan Marino montage video and introduced him.
April 6, 200521 yr Marino's first pitch: Dan Marino, who has been inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame this year, tossed out the first pitch Tuesday. The former Dolphins quarterback has a statue in his honor outside the stadium. He was warmly cheered Tuesday afternoon. "I figure he is going to get the best ovation than all of us," said third baseman Mike Lowell, a lifelong Dolphins fan. "What better person to throw out the first pitch in this city, in this stadium?" "I used to watch him on TV a lot," Marlins manager McKeon said. "He wasn't bad."
April 6, 200521 yr Not only did he throw a nice fastball with movement to LoDuca, he made a pretty nice pass to Andre Dawson who caught it right at the backstop. :thumbup
April 6, 200521 yr For one thing we can be sure, he was the best pitcher on the field not on the Marlins' roster.
April 6, 200521 yr Guys Marino is it in this town. He gets the loudest applause when he goes to heat games. He is the God of So Fla sports
April 6, 200521 yr Call me crazy, but I think they should have someone somewhat related to the Marlins throw out first pitch. 729154[/snapback] They could have asked Charlie Hough :shifty 729158[/snapback] That would have been cool to see Charlie throw out the first pitch, especially since he didn't pitch any at fantasy camp.
