If you have ever been to a Marlins game you know who he is... "The Pin Man" has passed away at age 70. He'll be watching from above in 2012.

 

My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends...

 

REST IN PEACE

Oh that is sad, that man was definitely one of the most recognized Marlin fans to date. Loved seeing his enthusiasm. God bless him!

For such a young franchise the Marlins certainly have had their share of memorable fans, peace to your family "Pin Man"

Thanks for letting us know. A sad day in Marlindom

Oh man, that's so sad. Not seeing him on the jumbotron during the game... man, it's just seems so wrong.

 

RIP "Pin Man". May your seat in heaven be behind home plate.

Someone better warn that Muscle Kid...

In honor of him, they should put his picture up there at some point during every home game, maybe have a ceremony as well.

 

RIP, Mr. Mendez.
