mattio13 Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Hi, im 13 and from Chesterfield, England. I started supporting the Miami Dolphins in November last year and shortly afterwards i decided to support a baseball team, i chose Florida as i love the city of Miami. I never really proper started getting to know baseball until a month ago and started the Marlins results. I have now to come know most of the basic rules of the game and know quite a few Marlins players like Hanley Ramirez, Dan Uggla and Jorge Cantu and a few more. Ive just seen a video about what the new ballpark will look like and it looks fantastic and after seeing that i will definately go to a Marlins game when im older. I know Marlins get poor attendances but i can understand why, sitting in that heat for 3 hours in an open stadium must be hard and i think its an achievement to get on average 17,000 fans a game when its that hot, i know in England people just wouldnt bother. Go Marlins! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schnellders Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 i can only follow the games on mlb website because it wont let me listen to us radio. i do get to watch other games sometimes on espn uk, but when the marlins are on i never miss it even if it means i have to stay up til 4 when i have school the next day Thats the way to do it! I know only too well the effects of sleep deprivation due to the Marlins but it doesnt stop me from tuning in most nights.
