Here's the part where the marlins are mentioned:

 

But the best baseball talent on the field in Detroit will be Hines Ward -- once voted the best high school baseball player in the state of Georgia.

 

Ward is still grumbling that his mother made him go to college instead of heading for the minor leagues. So he was only a 73rd-round pick, as an outfielder, by the Marlins in 1994. Unfortunately, as you might have noticed, he then found a sport other than baseball to pursue.

 

(The Fish, by the way, were clearly trying to bolster their passing game that year, because they took future Browns quarterback Josh Booty in the first round and drafted future Jets quarterback Glenn Foley in the 72nd round.)

While you're at it who can forget the Marlins second player ever drafted John Lynch. Before being an All-Pro for Buca and Broncs he threw the first pitch in Marlins organization history.

Kelley Washington was a Marlin too.

 

Our flag football squad would be stellar.

Josh Booty. I loved that guy :lol

I haven't heard his name in years! I wonder what Josh Booty is up to these days?

The Marlins also drafted Patrick Pass of the Patriots

as a Steeler fan, that is a neat piece of info about Hines.
